formariz 11,849 #2 Posted March 21, 2017 I believe the largest Kohler that will fit your tractor without any modifications is the K181 which is 8HP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #3 Posted March 21, 2017 Hood won't close over it due height & width of anything bigger than 8hp, and belt guard won't work without major mods. because crank shaft is higher. Jim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #4 Posted March 21, 2017 you can fit any k161 or k181 in the 653 (using a 8hp k181 you will need to use a k91-k161 airfilter assembly or hood wont fit). you can even run a magnum 8 like whats on my dads 502 wheel horse left side of picture. but samething its got a k91 carb with a k161 airfilter assembly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
