On the model of your tractor, there should be a plate under the dash(below the choke and throttle cable). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #4 Posted March 12, 2011 first of all and a k310 kohler engine is a 12 hp, it is the way kohler designates it k series engines. k161 = 7hp, k181=8hp, k241=10hp, k301=12hp, k341=16hp just to name a few. hope this helps :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
