Oil pan issues ( K series)

Recommended Posts

mowerman1193

I have a C145 Auto that the original 14hp K series needs a rebuild..I also have a 16hp K series that runs great..thought I might swap out the motor rather than rebuilding..Ran into a issue though..The 16hp has a different style oil pan and I don't think it will mount up to the Original style motor mounts..Is there a different oil pan I could look for to make this work or will another model Wheel Horse motor mount work..Maybe I will just post this motor for sale or swap someone that could use it the way it is?

Any Ideas? I will see if I can get some pictures posted later to show what I am talking about

You should be able to remove iso mount plate and just bolt in the 16hp,as frame is already set up to make that swap,done it a few times myself,Rick

but....... only if the 16hp engine is from a Wheel Horse.

If it's not, you'll either need to drill & tap the two PTO side mounting holes or get a WH spec oil pan.

don't you need a motor mount like, because of the pto rod???

Not technically.

The "L" shaped lower bracket (bolts on with the right mid-hitch plate) from a C series or 300/400 model (single cylinder) is all that's needed.

Example (although this picture is of a B-80):

Hey Mowerman, get with me I might have all the parts you need to do the swap, or might have a good engine to trade you, and I only live 10 miles or so from you, we really need to meet someday.
