Achto 30,921 #8 Posted 19 hours ago Given the fact that I have a handful of tractors, I buy a set of wires from TSC and cut them to length. One kit covers 7 single cylinder Kohlers. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tisco-spark-plug-wire-set-sws260 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 6,393 #9 Posted 8 hours ago I believe the original wires were 7 mm. I bought some recently. They were an off brand on eBay. I have them on two different tractors. They seem to be working well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
