kylep 1 #1 Posted March 2, 2020 I am working on a Roof Palomino mower that has a Kohler K482 engine in it and have a question about a "mystery" hose on the engine. It is located directly above the oil filter. The end of the hose has been plugged with a bolt. I am not seeing anywhere that the end of the hose should hook up to. I have attached a couple of pictures. Does anyone know why the hose is there or what it attaches to?? Thanks for any information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylep 1 #3 Posted March 2, 2020 Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate your thoughts. I have attached the only current picture of the Palomino that I have. I have the original mower deck for it but have it removed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudrig150 301 #5 Posted March 2, 2020 The breather is on top of the head... Is it screwed in, or on a barbed fitting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylep 1 #6 Posted March 2, 2020 It is a barbed fitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,542 #7 Posted March 2, 2020 My K482 just has an Allen head plug there. Maybe a crankcase vacuum port for LP gas regulator or some kind of diaphragm pump? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mudrig150 301 #8 Posted March 3, 2020 On most of the diagrams I see it's a 90 degree fitting with an oil pressure guage fitted to it. Might be a guage feed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
