WHX?? 48,833 #2 Posted February 21, 2023 Carb kits are available all over the jungle or fleabay. Just search on Kohler carb. Stay away from the cheap knockoffs as the inlet parts do not often fit. They are OK if you just need the bowl gaskets but for a full rebuild get one that says Kohler on it. See if we can get you a magnum manual the valve adjustments will be there along with other good stuff. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,833 #4 Posted February 21, 2023 I would still endeavor to save the original. Big thing is the throttle bushing shot but guys here @ebinmaine are pros at replacing them too. Some have good luck with the complete knock off some not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who needs grooves in the hubs if you had hubs like these. Saw this at the local agricultural dealer’s open day, last week, free entry,🍺 and hog roast as well!🐷👍. The tractor’s even the right colour! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ranger 1,750 #13 Posted February 22, 2023 The threaded holes under the black plastic plugs accept bolts, which when tightened, break the taper allowing the hub to be adjusted in or out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
