gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,474 #2 Posted May 25, 2014 Post all the numbers off the engine's data decal including the serial number. Sometimes they can be identified using them. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #3 Posted May 25, 2014 Hi David, The Kohler Command 12 horse engines started in 1998 and ran through 2001. Any 312 before that were the cast iron Kohlers. (Magnums and K series). That narrows it down some! Now what did you pick up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,474 #7 Posted May 27, 2014 Kohler made the engine in 1998 so that leaves us with a possibility of 2 models 1998 model 73428 Serial 8900001-8900499 1998 model 73428 Serial 8900500-8999999 1999 model 73429 Serial 9900001-9999999 1999 models would have been released in October 1998 so there is a good chance this is a 1999 model with that high of a Kohler serial. You might compare the operator manuals and illustrated parts lists for differences that may nail down the model year. Do you know how to find the manuals?
