Kohler K482 engine muffler

Recommended Posts

Are there any credible North American suppliers of mufflers for the K482 engine (perhaps Walker)? 

 

I need  a replacement.

 

Thx.

I work at the only aftermarket Tenneco/Walker exhaust factory in the USA, and no sir you won't get a Walker muffler for a Kohler, Onan, ect as it is 98% light car/truck and the rest medium/heavy duty truck/bus/equipment.

If you know what style you want, I assume OEM style, just search ebay.   I have a NOS Kohler muffler that is exactly like whats on my Commando 8, stored in a cabinet in our spare room where its dry and will not rust.  The OEM Kohler mufflers have a better "tone" and last longer than the cheapo pepper pots you can get from various sources.     Mike

Dont think there are any sources that will have a factory type muffler... most of us have to fabricate a replacement - and they can vary quite a bit!:lol: 

 

My first try at replacing them was on my D-180 and I went with a stock appearance using 2 mufflers that was similar to original and cut & welded them into fitting - while they turned out pretty well and sound good it was quite a project!! and I didnt want to do that again. So it came time to do something for the D-200 and I went for stacks -- that turned out much better!!

I'm going that route soon as the weather turns , my D-180's mufflers are both rotting out and starting to burn the paint off the grill , not to mention they sound as bad as they look...

 

How did you route the piping to make them land at the point they are sitting ? Almost looks as if the outlets that are bolted to the engine could be swapped from side to side and make it easier to avoid the grill and hood...?

      Hey all. I have a Electro 12 with a factory belly blade. It runs* and drives. I had used it to grade my driveway the last 6 yrs. Having moved I'm looking at my options on storing it or selling it. Frankly I have no idea what it is worth. I watched "ISaveTractors" video on 5 things to do with a new to you wheel horse/12hp kohler. (When i got it 6yrs ago) And went thru and did the adjustments and replaced the parts mentioned. It has been a good strong tractor for me until around July of this year. (2023)
      *Around July it started dying after running 20-30min. I replaced the carb (Chinese Amazon purchase) with one from isavetractors web site. That seemed to help it idle smoother(the old carbs jets wouldnt adjust), but it still dies at around 20-30min.
      So I've got 2 questions. 
      1. What is it worth? (As-Is) and
      2. What do I need to do to fix it? 
      Thanks yall!

      For Sale NOS M12S Short Block, still in the original box.  I bought it pre-emptively when Kohler was phasing out the Magnums.  Thought I would have it on hand if one of mine needed it, or maybe I would find a tractor with a busted rod for cheap.  Neither of those things happened, the darn things just keep running.
       
      Part number 77 522 35, probably built in late '05, it's the combination replacement kit Kohler made to fit WheelHorse or Gravely, machined to bolt directly into the Gravely transaxle, but also has spacers to mount WheelHorse PTO clutch/brake.  Also has a bunch of gaskets and seals packed with it, probably all you need to install it.
       
      And it's heavy, so it's not practical for me to ship.  Buyer arrange to pick up near Elida OH, I can lift it about knee high to help load.
       
      Asking $800 or might consider trade for a good center mount grader blade.

      I am looking for a replacement Kohler for a 1980 c165,it is cradle mounted.
      Will a standard mount Kohler work, if I remove the cradle?
