Kohler K 12?

Anyone know anything about the Kohler Aluminum K-12 -2? I'm wondering what HP it is. Trying to find out from the seller if it will fit into my Suburban.

Thanks,

Chad

This is what I found by doing an internet search:

Manufactured from 1949 to 1951

Strongly resembles Briggs & Stratton and Clinton engines of the same era.

I am guessing the "12" represents displacement (in cubic inches) which would possibly put it somewhere in the 3 to 4 horsepower range.

I'm fairly certain that this is a picture of either a 7-2 or a 12-2 (only difference was internal):

I don't think you'll have a problem with it fitting your tractor, but you better be sure that it runs & runs well before you buy it. I doubt you'll be finding too many parts for it if it breaks.

Thanks, that's way more than I found by quickly searching with Google. I would have to assume that the internals would be the same for engines of the same era, just that the case is aluminum, no? I was hoping it would be 4 or 5 HP.

Thanks,
