stevebo-(Moderator) 8,532 #2 Posted January 7, 2010 For the parts I would use partstree.com If I am correct they no longer make "rebuild" kits for the fuel pumps I tried to get one but I was told by a local NAPA dealer that Kohler no longer makes them and you have to buy new. For the cables you can keep an eye on ebay or just ask some of the people here by posting a want add in the classified section. Good luck and welcome.

sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted January 7, 2010 I'm refinishing an 855, need to know a good source for parts. axle seals, gearshift boot, choke and throttle cables, carb kit for Carter model N, fuel pump diaphram for K 181 Kohler Thanks rustnsuch Most of it should still be available through your Toro dealer. They probably wont have it on the shelf but should be able to get it for you in less than a week. You'll find prices are usually a little higher than the online prices, but not having to pay shipping will save you more. Transmission seals are also available through NAPA and bearing supply houses. There are part 's listed in threads in the gearbox section. Price the choke and throttle cables from your dealer, but I've found they are a bit pricy. Stens does make quite a few aftermarket ones. The fuel pump kit is NLA, but its probably worth pulling the thing apart and cleaning it out. There is not too much to go wrong in there, unless the diaphram is torn. I've resurrected 3 so far, and I've never seen a kit. I think you need to support your local dealer, if he goes out of business then you will be forced to shop online, and thats not going to help you on Saturday afternoon when your mower sheds its belt!

buckeyebill440 0 #5 Posted January 7, 2010 I agree with Kiwi, support your local dealer....I have made good friends with mine. He has given his time, used parts, manuals, and advice all for free. None of which I have ever found from ordering parts online. Heck the guy even nailed a "boobie" calander on my garage wall priceless..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
