Is it rusted in place? -

The arm on the steering spindle is likely twisted. That is what happens when the tire runs into something it can't climb. A closed up adjustable wrench on the flat bar can be used to twist it back into alignment. And it does not take much for a large improvement. I have broke the weld doing this.

Yeah, I realized that after the fact that I apparently can't read a tape measure tonight. We do have a 14 horse that if i can get the push rod out of you can still have all of the stuff. Update, the push rod is not wanting to come out of the 14 horse but you can still have the points, condenser, and cover, and gasket, and screws to help narrow down your search. -

I’m seeing closer to 1.250” on your tape measure… about 1/4” short. -

According to my tape measure they measure the length you stated above, you can have them and see if they'll work if you'd like. Don't want anyone having to go home with a dead horse, thats happened to us before and its not very fun. -

I believe the small block is shorter than the big block push rod, i know the points are the same, and i’m only assuming the covers are the same also, but we’ll find out. Thank you. Original Kohler Part Number: 47 411 04-S (often replacing earlier 47 411 01-S or 47 411 01versions) 0.184 " in diameter and 1.550 " in length according to AI search -
Just stick with your K181 The shaft on your linked engine is to small and too short. I know you are trying to learn but stay focused on what you have.

You have to remove the 4 bolts and 2 small plates then number 40 will come off To me looks like seal 39 is there the rubber part may be worn away

@BlaineUpdate: The push rod I have is 1 1/2 inches long. If that will work for you you can have all of the stuff in the picture. If the push rod won't work you can still have everything else if you want it. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Bar Nuthin replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Trying to sort out which tractors will pull different responsibilities/tasks, but decided the heavy weights belonged on the C-160. Thing runs sweet after putting the carb back together today! Actually, all three are running excellent! I've pretty much designated the No Name to lawn duty. Guessing the 160 will be my go-to for the MacKissic chipper. Then this winter one of these two will be sporting a 48" snowplow and the other will be on standby with the snowblower. -

@BlaineDo you know how long of a push rod you need? I've got one from a k141 and points and cover and the screws if it would work. I'll upload photos and length in a minute - Today

As I said previously... the logical thing to do was buy another one, right? A few miles down the road, I found this one. It only made sense to bring it home. It came with a pile of spare parts, some of them I dunno what they are. Plus a packet of several original manuals and papers for it. Plus spare tire chains. It has a few minor issues... for one its out of line, I don't know how to adjust it, there are no adjusters. And it didn't run, but I got it running, I think it has a few dirty grounds. All of it seems to work just fine. The brakes and the clutch are super sloppy and need adjusted. Its covered with dust from being in a corner of a garage, and needs a bath. $300. I need to remove the deck and sharpen the blades and pressure washer it all clean. Then I'll set it loose on a lot full of weeds.

K341 Troubles, Random "sputtering" - Calling engine Pros
Bill D replied to bmsgaffer's topic in Engines
Try running a jumper from the battery positive to the coil positive. If the stumble goes away then you have a bad key switch or safety switch that's causing problems. Also, check and clean your grounds. This is a powered ignition system so dirty electrical connections can cause problems. Just some thoughts. -

I’m starting to worry a bit. Nobody has chimed in with a k301 points push rod plunger and a set of points yet. I may have a correct ignition switch to do the points ignition conversion, and i can rob the points from my k161, but without a push rod, i’ll be going home Thursday with a dead horse. -

eric8 started following 520h PTO clutch in bad shape

Decided to take a look at the PTO pulley today and discovered there was no friction material visible when viewing the air gap between the pulley and clutch disc. Pulled it off, and sure enough, I was right. She’s toast. Couple of questions: 1. Part # 40 in the diagram, identified as the bearing race, will not slide off of the engine shaft. It appears fused on and won’t budge. Is this normal? 2. Part # 39 is supposed to be a bearing seal. Is it installed currently? I’m not seeing any kind of lip that a traditional bearing seal would have.

Evening, While researching and learning about Kohler engines, I came across this, unaware that Kohler still made small engines. anyone have experience with this one or similar modern Kohler engines? How do they compare say to those harbor freight predators and or The genuine Honda 200s those are based off of? https://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/sh270-3142?setCurrencyId=1&sku=SH270-3142&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=22419493833&utm_content=&utm_term=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pmaxbriggs&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22429555384&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgt293ZmclQMVnXV_AB3owjxMEAQYASABEgIrivD_BwE

it’s not great! At first I thought it was the inside of a Unidrive -
Looks much better! I took that in on trade here at my place at the plow day. It’s much better now!

Did text her to listen for any odd noises as well as removing side panels, pop hood and try to peek behind the engagement lever (we have mice up there, never experienced them on the Toro, but did have an issue with an 81 XJ 650. 🤨 2 weeks ago I put newly sharpened blades on, cleaned and greased things. Reinstalled deck and mowed for 4 hours with no issues. Also installed new ignition switch.
