View attachment 175812 Bush hog ZTR with blown head gasket. A lot of creative repairs on this thing and been rode hard.
I have lost track of how many of those I have done head gaskets on. Make sure you get the upgraded head gasket kit (Kohler P/N 24 841 04-S), and I highly recommend you do both sides while you are in there. I also normally send the heads to the machine shop to have them re-surfaced and a valve job done; you would be amazed how much they warp from being torqued down and then taken off. It is already apart, now is the time to do it.
