jimt1971 236 #1 Posted August 29, 2009 Hello All, I have a 12 hp K series Kohler. The rod siezed on the crank so I know the crank will need to be cut and the rod replaced. I have the opportunity to get a rod and crank from a m-12 would this be a direct fit. Or would I be better off getting the crank cut and a new rod? Thanks, Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted August 29, 2009 The crankshaft will interchange - providing the PTO end is the same dimensions. (you knew that) There might be a few exceptions, but I have yet to encounter them. As long as the rod has the correct "dipper" length and matches the piston, it will interchange too. (old style vs. new style Mahle piston) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
