Good afternoon gents
So I've got a deere Z225 Zero turn mower. Fairly low hours at around 400ish. It's a decent little 48" mower. The original 18hp briggs single cylinder is in my opinion a little bit underpowered if you mow anything very thick at all.
My solution is to attempt a motor swap. I have acquired an almost new Briggs and Stratton 24hp platinum w/XRD twin cylinder motor. I believe I can get it to work on my mower chassis.
Does anyone have any wiring diagrams on how to just do the basic wiring on this engine so I can bench test it and check everything out before I tear my mower apart?? I got it from a friend and believe what he says about the motor but still want to hear it myself before I embark down this path.
Thanks in advance.
I'll posy some pictures as I go through the process.
