Kohler K series rear oil seal.... NAPA has a seal I'm gonna try

[Razorback 1,301]

Regarding Kohler K series rear oil seal p/n 4703207: I found that NAPA has a seal that says it replaces that part..... NAPA Part #: SME 704003

 

NAPA seal, replacement for Kohler 4703207

 

I have one coming Saturday..... priced today at $7.71. I'll report back when I get it installed to comment about the fit...... then follow up later when I get some run time on it.

 

(I had an oil leak on my Cub Cadet 123 that has a K301 in it. This will also apply to my Wheel Horse C160, and will apply to any K series engines that use 4703207)

( I saw the Kohler # and knew for the past year and a half all Napa small engine uses O.E. #s') 

 

47-032-07S is the Kohler #.  All Napa small engine has switched to Kohler #'s without the dashes and S at the end. You are probably getting some old stock that has been sitting around at a Napa Warehouse still in the old Primeline/Napa Small Engine package. For example The 704003 shows 1 in the Buffalo Dist. Center and 1 in Carlisle. That's it for the NE. They may not even stock the Kohler # in the future. Who knows. 

 

I used the Napa/  Primeline products for years with good results.

I have always wondered about the crank seals.  Normally I can cross reference all the seals on my WHs to CR/skf...but not the crank shaft seals...

Picked up the seal just now….. it’s the PrimeLine part…. 
 

Now, to get the engine back together. Will do that after we get the yard mowed.
