Used this to repower a John Deere z920A. I also added an oil pressure gauge, oil temp gauge and volt meter. Engine runs fantastic. Oil pressure is around 42 psi at WOT oil temp is 230 degrees and it puts out good voltage. Very happy with it. Plenty of power. It came very well packaged too. Cant beat the price.

I installed this on my 2008 john Deere z830a zero turn with 60" 7 iron deck. This zero turn is a big heavy commercial unit. It had a blown Kawasaki 27 hp engine and this one worked great. Had the same 1 1/8" shaft 4" long and the mounting holes line up perfect with the existing holes. My muffler from the old Kawasaki engine bolted up to it. It comes with exhaust gaskets and bolts. I would highly recommend this engine. I can not tell any difference in power from the 27 hp Kawasaki that I use to have on it. The old engine was an fx751v. I was even able to keep the existing key ignition and all the safety features minus the low oil shutoff. A replacement Kawasaki engine was a little over 2600 so I was able to save money.

DO NOT BUY THIS ENGINE! I bought a zero turn mower with this engine in 2013 and it completely blew with less than twenty hours on it. It was replaced under warranty. I put an additional 100 hours on it (with regular maintenance) and it blew again (this time out of warranty). When I asked the mechanic if he had ever had any problems with this particular engine, he led me to a pile of engines of this model. He said that they all had the same problem as mine. The mower dealership tried to get Briggs to make this right since this was a known problem with this model, but Briggs wouldn't do it. I replaced it with a 26 hp Kawasaki, which is a much more powerful engine than the claimed 27 hp of the Briggs.

    Performs great, well pleased with product and the professional service we received from online Representative. However the Zachary Asst. manager and another female employee were not professional.
