Internationalcub67 9 #26 Posted November 18 Anyone know where I should buy points and condensor for my wheelhorse k91t? Its a pullstart. I believe my tractor is a 1960 as the transmission is dated 1960. I see several different sources but want to make sure I buy the correct ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These RJ’s were so light in the front so they filled the front rims with calcium chloride. It is corrosive and eats them from the inside. I’ve had good success sand blasting them, filling the holes with fiberglass cloth and building them smooth with JB weld. isavetractor.com has Kohler points and condenser.

Internationalcub67 9 #28 Posted November 18 I just visited that site but the points mounting looks different than mine. My points have 2 flat head screws on top and bottom that hold it to engine. That website has a picture of points for a pull start and they look different with only one mounting hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,023 #29 Posted November 18 Fine grit sandpaper sliver (600 or higher) pulled through the points contacts while they're closed. Keep going until the paper runs clean. Black grit gives a good visual to see what's going on as go. Or a file can be used too. Clean both contacts well. 9 outta 10 times it won't need new points as long as they're not pitted real bad and it's 90% faster than using bills to do it. You could finish up with a bill to clean any grit residue if you want but I don't bother. Never had a single grit problem by doing it with ? 40-50 engines +. New points would also need the contacts to be cleaned to remove the coating on them so they make contact. You can verify good consistent connection of the contacts with a meter if it doesn't spark. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,393 #30 Posted November 18 (edited) Be sure the condenser you buy is for the magneto equipped engine. Kohler old number 235786, new number 47-147-01-S. It should measure 100 to 250 nF https://www.ebay.com/itm/160825787840?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooYdGupw1Yyg8kZuTINfw8LJd2XDEe_15IgRy-3-x4HdyJbQRZvBQw Edited November 18 by 953 nut 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
