Thanx for your response.
I have to assume the first engine was a Kawasaki, then? Please confirm?

I have a mower with a 25hp Kawasaki engine. It's a V-twin vertical shaft
and
it's a hoss. It's actually the second such engine on this mower. The first
one
was destroyed by a son who didn't think it was important to check the oil,
and
didn't think it would hurt to drive it full throttle for about 1/4 mile to
tell
me "this thing's knocking". It would still start up and run after that, but
he
had burnt every seal out of it and I couldn't keep oil in it.
I found a replacement engine on Ebay, identical but a year or so newer. It
came
from - a John Deere zero turn mower. The only difference was the shape of
the
muffler and air cleaner. I used my originals so it didn't matter. It's
been
running for 2 years now in that mower with absolutely no problems.
The brand of engine isn't as important as taking care of them. Any of the
brands you mention are fine for almost anything you want to do with them, as
long as you don't overload them or let them run out of oil.

Post by JosepiLTX 1050 KW comes with a 22HP Kawasaki engine.
Is this breed worth going after compared to the Deere B&S engines or the
Kohler one in the rest of the Cub Cadets?
I have an acre of land with a lot of hills.
