953 nut 51,527 #2 Posted June 19, 2017 Your engine Spec. number is correct for a C-121 and the only unusual thing I see is the solenoid, but I'm not sure what was being used in Europe at the time so it could be proper too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,527 #4 Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like it has been well cared for and the seat is outstanding. Considering the fact that it is nearly four decades old I think it is remarkable. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,483 #5 Posted June 19, 2017 Kohler built serial 9324945 in 1978 so it could have landed on a 1978 or 1979 model tractor. This manual will apply to both years Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
