Kohler cradle mount question.

Recommended Posts

Raider69

Does anyone know if there's a height difference between a K series that bolts directly to the frame and a cradle mount K series? I'm repowering a '68 Raider 9 with a K341AQS out of a JD using the pan and cradle mount from a C series WH. I'm also repowering my '75 B100 with a K301AQS out of a JD using the same style C series pan and cradle mount. Just wondering if I may run into hood clearance issues. TIA.

I am reasonably sure the center line of the crankshaft will be the same as your Tecumseh. Wheel horse made the cradle mount to compensate for the crankshaft height to be the same as the standard oil pan Kohler.  Those issues were all covered in this thread.

I'd agree with that based on the 1974 C160-8 Tecumseh / Kohler belt guard being interchangeable.

Here is a shaker mount K bolted direct to frame. Spacers are the same ones used in a 8hp shaker mount plus 3 washers...  No belt guard mods needed
