Ken B 3,189 #1 Posted October 28, 2012 I picked up this nice K91T yesterday for 40 bucks. It was on an ancient looking leaf blower. It seems to have low hrs. on it, runs excellent with no smoke. The serial # is 782661 and the spec # is 316980. Does anyone have an idea as to what yr, it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Late 1969 to 1979 Kohler serial numbers have 7 digits. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #7 Posted October 31, 2012 What a fantastic find Ken! None of my old engines looked that good when I found them. Its amazing how similar looking the different makes of engines were back then. The way the tank looks, and the sediment bowl look ver similar to my old Briggs engines. Here is a pic of a 1950 Briggs NP. Congrats! Matt :flags-texas: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #9 Posted October 31, 2012 My serial number research is far from complete and definitely not fool-proof, but I'm going to go with 1963/64-ish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @Matt: shouldn't that Briggs have a round tank with welded end caps? :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,512 #10 Posted November 1, 2012 The spec # 316980 appears to have an extra digit. Kohler built spec # 31698 for Atwater Strong that made blowers. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #11 Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks for all the input guys! Hopefully very soon I'll have a nice little RJ or Suburban to put this motor on. In my opinion these K90's and K91's in this shape are much harder to find than a decent tractor to put them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
