whtractors24 2,962 #1 Posted November 1, 2012 i was wondering if a k301as 12hp kohler wit craddle mount will fit in b80 chassis with the hood clearance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #2 Posted November 1, 2012 I would think so as long as for some odd reason the hood on a B-80 is different then a C-120 for instance. The later C-1X1 series tractors used a shaker plate with the older hood. Of coarse you could just swap the oil pan and solid mount the motor :handgestures-thumbupright: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremi3210 688 #4 Posted November 1, 2012 On my c121 the k301 does not have the bolt flanges for the solid mount pan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #5 Posted November 1, 2012 In short NO, it will not fit, the "AS" series engine uses a small oil pan and the big soild mount pan will not fit it, the older tractors the belt guard bolts to the block the shaker motors do not, some B-80s have a shorter frame and will cause cleance issues with the shaker motor, not saying you can't make it fit but it will not be a bolt in.
