condo630 6 #1 Posted May 19, 2011 I am considering swapping a 10 or 12 horse Kohler into my Raider 9 with the Tecumseh HH100. I have read some things that lead me to believe that not all Kohler engines are created equal. I do not want to fight the thing to get it to fit and I would like to use the PTO. Does anyone have any information on "spec numbers?" What is different between a Kohler from a Wheel Horse and one that was in, say, a Cub Cadet? What should I look for to make a clean swap? How much is a decent motor worth? If there is another thread on this, please link to it. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbbahner 27 #2 Posted May 21, 2011 The experts will chime in here soon, but what little I know - watch out for the PTO shaft size and length from other brands/Kohlers. If it came out of a WH it can be made to work fairly easy. Also, engine height, different oil pans might used. Might be some wiring differences - watch the Ign. Switch layout. Might have to change throttle, choke cables/routing Kind of depends on what the engine comes off of, but these are some things to look at. Motor worth - thats an open ended question as always based on condition, location, availability, etc. etc. Seen them go for $250 but usually MORE Tom B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
