New Internal Engine Rebuild Parts for Kohler K-Series and Magnum Engines
-
NOTE: All parts listed below are NEW except where specified. And don't
be leery of the low prices. The engine parts I sell are from Stens and Rotary.
They're of very high quality and priced lower than genuine Kohler parts.
They're the same parts I've installed in my customer's lawn and garden equipment
and my own pulling tractors for years since 1982 and I've never had any
complaints or problems with them.

New 8 ball main
crankshaft bearings for 10hp, 12hp, 14hp, 16hp (flatheads) and 18hp (OHV)
Kohler K-series and Magnum single cylinder cast iron engines. These are
specifically designed to provide maximum performance through precise ball
implement selection. At higher rpms, bigger balls run cooler which create
less rolling resistance than bearings with smaller balls. Heat treated. Good
for high performance use. Made in China, but has the same quality as OEM
Kohler bearings for long wear. Replaces Kohler part # 235376. Dimensions:
1.57" i.d. x 3.54" o.d. x .90" width. $15.00 each, plus shipping.
Part #150-973
New main crankshaft bearings for 7hp and 8hp Kohler K-series and Magnum single cylinder cast iron flathead engines. These are specifically designed to provide maximum performance by means of precise ball implement selection. Heat treated. Good for high performance use. Made in China, but has the same quality as OEM Kohler bearings for long wear. Dimensions: 1.18" i.d. x 2.44" o.d. x .62" width. $10.00 each, plus shipping. Part # 150-960 NOTE: If you were to wash all the oil out of the crankshaft main [ball] bearings with cleaning solvent and allow them to dry, and then later you spun the bearings by hand, and if the bearings isn't worn much or at all, they might make a rattle sound and feel "rough." The noise or roughness isn't necessarily because the bearing is worn. The noise is mainly caused by the balls running dry on the races because there's no oil to separate them. Apply a small amount of motor oil to the balls/races and then spin them by hand. They should be a lot quieter now. The same thing will happen with new ball bearings. And if the bearings have very little play in them, like they're worn, don't worry about this. The metal will swell up as the engine rpms increase and when the motor oil warms up. Even new bearings have little play in them for this reason. |

Complete Exhaust Header Pipe Kits - I offer
three types of exhaust header pipe kits.
Top of page
The two holes that's to be drilled and tapped
for the header pipe in the exhaust port of the engine block should be performed
on the table of a large milling machine by an experienced machinist. The
holes are to be drilled with a letter "F" or 17/16" drill bit, and about
1-1/4" deep. Then the threads cut perpendicular to the exhaust flange with
a 5/16-24 NC tapered tap. Use plenty of oil and go slow to prevent from breaking
the tap off in the block. Because if it breaks off, it'll be terribly hard
to remove.
NOTE: To fasten
the anti-vibration brace to the pipe, with an engine turning no more than
4,000 rpms, it's safe to use a stainless steel automotive radiator hose clamp.
But if an engine is going to run at wide open throttle, it's best to use
a 1-1/2" automotive "U" shaped muffler clamp. These are available at any
auto parts store. By the way - the anti-vibration brace is very important
because I think there's nothing more embarrassing and being disqualified
than having a welded-on header pipe break off at the weld while the tractor
is pulling about halfway down the track. |
Complete and
ready to bolt on, exhaust header pipe kit for 10hp, 12hp and 14hp Stock and
Stock-Altered Kohler engines with stock size valves and with or without a
working governor.
Kit includes a 1-3/16" i.d. x 1-5/16" o.d. pipe. It measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall, has a 90° semi-mandrel bend pipe, welded-on mounting flange, two Allen head stainless steel mounting bolts and an anti-vibration brace. Very shiny pipe, resists rust. Made of galvanized-coated steel. This is the only tubing I found that's the right size. Designed for use on Cub Cadets and most other makes & models of garden tractors with a 10, 12 or 14hp Kohler K-series or Magnum engines. This pipe has a flange that securely fastens to the engine block with two furnished 5/16" diameter coarse thread (5/16-18 NC) Allen head bolts. If your block don't have the two holes, then they will need to be drilled and threaded to accept the pipe. There is no other way to fasten this pipe to the block. Comes with no mounting gasket. Use silicone sealer instead. An adapter is NOT needed for these pipes because the flange is small enough to clear the governor lever. Shipping weight is 4 lbs.
|
Complete and ready to
bolt on, exhaust header pipe kit for 10hp, 12hp and 14hp Stock-Altered and
30 c.i. Super-Stock Kohler engines with oversize valves and without a governor
lever.
Kit comes with a 1-3/8" i.d. x 1-1/2" o.d., from the center of the pipe, it measures approximately 7" from the block and approximately 19" tall, 90° bend pipe, welded-on mounting flange, two hex head stainless steel mounting bolts, two Allen head mounting bolts, block-to-flange adapter and an anti-vibration brace. High-quality 16 gauge aluminized steel automotive exhaust tubing, which looks nice and resists rust. The adapter securely fastens to the engine block with two furnished 5/16" diameter coarse thread (5/16-18 NC) Allen head bolts. If your block don't have the two holes, then they will need to be drilled and threaded to accept the pipe. There is no other way to fasten this pipe to the block. Comes with no mounting gasket. Use silicone sealer instead. Designed for use on Cub Cadets and most other makes & models of garden tractors with a 10, 12 or 14hp Kohler K-series or Magnum engines. Shipping weight is 5 lbs.

|
| NOTE: I can also make header pipes for other makes and models of engines. I'll need to know the outside diameter of the pipe, the overall length, how far it will need to come out from the engine to clear the hood, how many bends it will need, and the dimensions of the mounting flange. You can order larger diameter header pipes from either Lakota Racing, Midwest Super Cub or Nichols Performance. |
Steel exhaust pipe mounting
flange-to-engine block for 10, 12 and 14hp single cylinder, and KT17, KT19,

Steel exhaust port to header
flange adapter for 10, 12 and 14hp Kohler and Magnum flathead engines. Used

NOTES:
The higher prices include rebuilding everything on and in the engine; includes the carburetor reworked, exhaust header pipe, ignition components, starter, etc., depending on rules requirements, what you want done and how "hot" you want your engine to perform. A deposit is required on all engine rebuilds.
If you decide to ship an engine to me, enclose it in a wooden crate or cardboard box fastened on a wooden pallet. To build a sturdy crate, start with 2" x 2" frame work with a skid pallet on the bottom (so a forklift can pick it up without damage), fasten the oil pan of the engine to the bottom of the crate (pallet), use either 1/4" plywood or paneling to cover the crate, place some heavy pieces of Styrofoam around and above the engine (cover the engine with plastic or a garbage bag first) to help cushion it during transport, and fasten everything on and in the crate with sheet rock screws. Or if you bring an engine to me in person, sit it in an old tire to keep it from moving around during transportation. And please let me know first so we can expect your arrival. It'll be best to have everything on the engine that can wear so I can repair them too, and make the necessary adjustments.
To ship your engine to me, first off, do not use the US Mail Service, UPS or FedEx Express! Their employees are trained in handling lightweight packages (weighing up to 70 lb.) and the heavier items tend to get damaged with their kind of handling. They are very hard on heavy packages when they handle them. The packages are placed on conveyor-belt systems and they seem to always drop the heavy ones off of the elevated conveyors, which usually destroys whatever is inside them.
Here's a great web site that calculates freight charges. Go here: http://www.shipgooder.com/ and type in your zip code, my zip code (65203) and the crated weight of a typical complete 10-16hp Kohler engine (145 lb.).
If you decide to ship your engine to me, please crate it well. We're authorized FedEx Ground (for anything up to 150 lbs.) and FedEx Freight (for anything over 150 lbs.) shippers because they've been proven to be the lowest cost, most gentle and reliable shipping companies. Contact your local FedEx Ground for more details. Or you can use a major trucking company with a good reputation for shipping heavy, fragile objects. Look in the Yellow Pages and ask around. The reason I say this is because I once returned a rebuilt engine that was crated very well to a customer using a well-known shipping company, and it was almost destroyed in shipping when he received it. You'll have better success with shippers such as FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, Roadway, etc. Freight company employees are trained in handling heavy packages plus they use tow motors to move the freight around, not like UPS or FedEx Express with their uncaring "gorillas" unloading and loading the trucks. The approximate shipping weight of a crated 7 and 8hp Kohler engine is 100 lbs. And 10-16hp single cylinder cast iron Kohler engine is 145 lbs.
To ship an engine, freight companies require it to be in an enclosed wooden or plastic crate, or a sturdy cardboard box. It's best to securely fasten it with the oil pan bolts on a pallet made of 2 x 4's and fasten the boards together with long drywall screws, not nails. Then place a 2 x 2 wooden frame around the pallet and fasten 1/4" plywood with a 2 x 2 frame work. Run cross-braces which encompasses the top portion of the cylinder of the block. This will support or stabilize the top of the block and keep the engine from getting ripped off the base. Put a lid on the top and then load it in the trucking company's truck when it arrives with a tow motor. You shouldn't have any problems shipping an engine this way.
To ship a transaxle, this is easier. They don't require an enclosed crate. Just place the transaxle on the center of a wooden pallet and stretch wrap (use low-cost ratchet nylon tie-downs) to securely fasten it to the pallet. Use at least 6 layers of stretch wrap or several tie-downs. This should work really well. The shipping weight of a Cub Cadet cast iron case transaxle when strapped to a wooden pallet is approximately 215 lbs.

When sending your engine or transaxle to me, please include a note with your
name, address, phone number and a description of what you want done. Or if
you'd prefer to deliver your engine or transaxle personally to me, I'm located
at 1501 West Old Plank Rd., Columbia, Missouri 65203 |

| Warranty: Since the products I sell are used under extreme
high-performance conditions, there is no "100% warranty" on most parts, engines
or engine rebuilds. If you do have a problem with anything I sold or repaired
for you, please feel free to contact me. Parts ordered from this website
should be installed and used by persons that are familiar with mechanical
parts and their proper use and installation. Consult my garden tractor tips
and tricks web pages of the parts for its proper use and mechanical requirements.
Customer assumes responsibility for maintaining products and/or equipment
in safe operating condition.
Warranty on my engines and engine rebuilds depend on what goes wrong with the engine. Typically, if the engine is taken care of (regular oil changes, proper ignition timing, valve adjustments and use of correct octane fuel), my engines are quite reliable and will last for many years. So if an engine has been taken care of, I will stand behind my engines for a period of one pulling season or one mowing season. |
