Would a Kohler Fit?

[rs07]

I may be buying an A-C HB-112. My question is, if I decide to replace the 12HP Briggs (If it goes bad), with a Kohler Single Cylinder, that I happen to have laying around, would it fit in these tractors? Has anybody tried this yet?

It all depends what Kohler came out of. Kohler has more options when it comes to oil sumps. Also I don't think Briggs and Kohler were the same for adaptation parts to connect the BGB shaft to the drive shaft. This is just for starts. Other then that other people have done I think. Cold fit? No. A can do project? Yep

I have a B-112 with a 10 horse K series in it . I bought it that way. The only thing wrong is there needs to be a little more room under the hood for the muffler. The man I got it from said it was out of a Jacobsen tractor.

I have a 7116H that had a 16HP briggs, now has a M20S kohler in it even though it doesn't run due to a broke rod but I have adapted the drive shaft from Briggs to Kohler.

A 16hp Kohler K341 (or any single K engine) with the wide oil pan will drop right in the B-112. You will need the Kohler adaptor for the flywheel to connect the drive shaft too. The Kohler will have battery ignition also, so you will need to change the ignition set up. The Kohler the exhaust exits at 45 deg angle but most have the 45deg adaptor on them, and with it the exhaust will clear everything.
