RedRock Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I hsve a Kohler K181 that needs replacing. I can go look at one from a Wheel Horse. What do I need to check to see if it will work in place of my current engine, which I do not want to rebuild. Thanks for any responses.

B10Dave Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 RedRock; I believe as long as the output shaft is same length and diameter and it is a K181 you should have no issues...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris727 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A lot of Kohler engines had different configurations of oil pans. What type of machine are you needing to repower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to your info i picked up the kohler yesterday...the guy was keeping it as a spare but decide he'd never wear out the one in his tractors...
