I have a 12 hp engine that is not original to the tractor. From what I can see it has a Spec #of 460d on the worn label. Cannot find that here. Maybe this was a generator engine or water pump? Can post picks if needed. It also has a short dip stick on the front of the engine. Never seen that before. Thanks for any info. I think this may have been a dealer on the shelf engine. Because the original engine blew up form what the owner said.

Based on your partial spec number i would guess it is spec# 47460d as all K301 started with 47

 

That spec number comes back as a service engine.  Service engines were frequently painted blue or a light gray...

A generator or water pump engine usually have a tapered shaft on the PTO side.

WHX??

The other day we just happen to be tearing into a 301 and I pointed out some plugs in the base pan that were not seen before on a mid sixties horse. @Achto scrapes a little paint to find gray. ID plate MIA.

This has a PTO set up like a 1257 or any stater gen tractor.  Do you check the oil the same way as a standard K301? funky dip stick. Tanks for all the info.

Paul from what I can see it has red then painted black. Covered labels also. I only bought it for the plow. Needs a little tlc.
