Kohler K341 tapered shaft adapter

[MainelyWheelhorse 2,089]

Hi All,

I still haven’t completely ruled out the RV K341 I have as since the C-85’s engine is blown up and it’s a mix of parts it’s a a bit of another Frankenstein. I’ll adapt it on. I went on the jungle site and looked up Kohler tapered shaft adapter. I found a few but none directly specific to Kohler.

I did find adapters there to adapt the shaft to 1 1/8 for the PTO. I’ve also seen ones that are threaded to bolt into the end of the shaft and ones that have a slotted key. I’d assume the threaded one is better. I would rather not take the K341 apart to swap cranks as it’s expensive to get the right crank for a PTO/drive pulley not to mention some of the other parts too.

 

Is there a specific Kohler tapered shaft adapter or is it a universal thing?

Which one do or would you guys use? 

 

Thanks!

The taper is more of a universal thing. 

 

I used this supplier for the adaptor that I needed for my Hatz engine.

Just a friendly FYI.

In a URL, everything beginning with the “?” and continuing to the end of the string is stuff tacked on to identify and track you.

 

In the above link, only this https://www.ebay.com/itm/111797583847 is needed to get directly to the page on eBay. 

 

I make it a practice to:

- right click on the questionable links and choose “Copy Link"

- open a new browser window and paste the copied link into the search box - DO NOT HIT RETURN

- drag select all the tracking stuff in the link and delete it

- hit Return to have the browser go to the edited link
