No oil pump on any Kohler K single, its a slinger system with the slinger finger on the rod bearing cap.

I would set it on somewhat level ground and fill it to full on the dip stick.

The KV181 had a oil pump system. A dry sump with the reservior in the place of the K series pan.

Don,t see any reason why the transmission could not be flipped if you find a way to keep the oil

from leaking past the shift lever.

Knew I'd kill myself buy using the word, "any." Yet KV181's are most often only seen in pictures today :)

I don't think the 1" drop spindles will effect it at all, it can run and lubricate fine on somewhat of an angle. But getting in to anything real radical like flipping the axle might be a problem as more oil will sustain at the front and not enough at the cam area where you really need it to be.
