I'm having more fun issues with the Kohler Command 22 HP engine in my CCC 3240. Last year it was frozen hydraulic lifters and bent push rods. I fixed that, and it ran great until I mowed for a couple of hours this year when it suddenly began smoking with an engine rattle. Turns out the valve spring keeper shattered and let the valve spring go ! How hard of a fix is this ? Do I need to remove the head ?
Tractor had fresh oil and the lifters/valves were well lubricated. Anyone else having this FUN problem ? A great tractor but I'm getting tired of these constant engine problems.

Re: Kohler Command 22HP Engine issues
by putting air pressure in the cyl. it will hold the valves closed so you can work on the keepers
