    GENERAL DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ! The following engines on this page have some similar specifications as your CRAFTSMAN YT 4000's engine.

Although any of these engines may not be exactly (100%) the same as for your CRAFTSMAN YT 4000's engine , we feel very confident and are doing our best from our many years of experience to show you the closest engines we have in stock that have some similar specifications as your original engine, such as crankshaft diameter and length and mounting bolt pattern that may work for your equipment. Your exact original engine may not be available because it may: be too old to be in production or discontinued due to some EPA regulations.

Our customers may had bought any of these engines from us and may had done some modifications to adapt to work with their equipment including, but not limited to: transferring the wire harnesses from their old engines to the new engines, tappering the mounting holes, drilling new mounting holes on mower's decks, cutting and welding mufflers, ...etc.

Although we spent a lot of time to prepare, review and compose this page, the information here may not be 100% accurate as we collected them from our experience and from our customers on the daily basis. You should replace your old engine with the same brand, type, and series, specifications to avoid major modifications. Please contact us first if you have any questions or want to confirm before purchasing. We are here to help!

USE KOHLER 7000 SERIES ENGINE (KT715 to KT745) TO REPLACE KOHLER COMMAND ENGINE - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...
When using a NEWER ENGINE (KOHLER 7000 SERIES of KT715 to KT745 ) to replace the OLDER ENGINE (Kohler Command Twin Cylinder Engine), you will have to the following minor tasks including, but not limited to:
  1. Transfer the electric starter from the OLDER ENGINE to the NEWER ENGINE because the electric starter on the NEWER ENGINE may not have a solenoid or install an external starter solenoid for the NEWER ENGINE . If the NEWER ENGINE's electric starter has built-in solenoid, you can skip this step.

  2. You will also have compare the NEWER ENGINE AND OLDER ENGINE's wire harness side by side to reconfigure the wires on the NEWER ENGINE to make sure they are all line up as the OLDER ENGINE.

  3. There may be some other minor modifications that you may have to do.

  4. The mounting hole patterns of the Kohler 7000 Series engine and Kohler Command engine are the same. You won't have to drill any mounting holes on your mower's deck. Just tap/thread the engine's mounting holes if they (most) are not tapped.

  5. We had customer(s) who did this and made it worked before.
