All my lawn tractors have been John Deere. Current one is a 1989 rear-engine rider with the bullet proof Kawasaki single cylinder. Other one I have (but not running right now) is a hoodless LX series with much the same engine (minus the balancer shaft) and is a 1996. Other one's I've had were two 318's (one had a literal 14,400 hours - engine blew up) and the other one had a tranny going bad so I sold it at auction. Really miss the 318, they are GREAT lawn tractors. Or rather garden tractor. V twin power, can't beat it. Then before that I had a 165 from 1990, and a 180 from in the late 80s (exact date unknown). All of those had single cylinder kawasakis except the 318s, which had the Onan V twin.

I don't have one but there's a guy near me that's bound to have one. He's got sheds full of small engine parts. I'd have to have some pictures and measurements though to be able to find one as he'd have no clue about part numbers.
