a.dumont 10 #1 Posted June 8, 2018 A K482S is a K482S... or so I thought until I set my replacement engine next to my blown engine. The replacement has a larger and longer output shaft, and a wider flywheel bolt pattern for the flex coupling. Are the rest of the internals the same? Can I swap out the crank and flywheel and run it? Is there a website or listing of what the designed purpose/differences are between spec numbers? Original engine to my 1973 D-180: Model K482S Spec 35209b Serial 375904 Replacement from a sweeper unit: Model K482S Spec 35173b Serial 3186634 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,129 #2 Posted June 8, 2018 There were numerous crankshafts used in the same engine series...depends on what the buyer wanted/needed same with flywheels and other external stuff..... Best bet.. look up both spec numbers on Kohler engine site and compare part numbers for things you are interested on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
