I recently pulled this Wheel Horse out of my Father-In-Law's garage. He said that he picked it up some years ago at a yard sale.  I am interested in getting it running again but as can be seen from the pictures the carb is missing.  I am not having any luck surfing the web trying to figure out where to get parts.  My Father-In-Law said that the engine ran but he pulled the carb for another project and never got back to this one.  If anyone could help point me to a service manual I would greatly appreciate it.

JerDecker,

   Carburetors for Kohlers are plentiful and cheap on E-bay.New or used,any horsepower.The muffler may be more of an issue inless you go with an aftermarket unit.Same source.Luck,JAinVa

Thanks for the feedback on the photos.  I will try to load them in a different format.

Richard: Based on the links you provided I am guessing that this is a 4 hp engine. ??  I am going to pull the head off and will measure the bore to verify.

:text-coolphotos:  The information tag is missing from your engine, but if you measure the cylinder and the stroke you can determine the size.

      1962 552 seat.
      By Jeremiah elliott
      Looking for a seat for a 1962 552, trying to find an original, or a reproduction of the original. Would appreciate any help. Photo isn’t mine but that is the seat I am after.

      For Sale NOS M12S Short Block
      By Rick3478
      For Sale NOS M12S Short Block, still in the original box.  I bought it pre-emptively when Kohler was phasing out the Magnums.  Thought I would have it on hand if one of mine needed it, or maybe I would find a tractor with a busted rod for cheap.  Neither of those things happened, the darn things just keep running.
       
      Part number 77 522 35, probably built in late '05, it's the combination replacement kit Kohler made to fit WheelHorse or Gravely, machined to bolt directly into the Gravely transaxle, but also has spacers to mount WheelHorse PTO clutch/brake.  Also has a bunch of gaskets and seals packed with it, probably all you need to install it.
       
      And it's heavy, so it's not practical for me to ship.  Buyer arrange to pick up near Elida OH, I can lift it about knee high to help load.
       
      Asking $800 or might consider trade for a good center mount grader blade.

      Tractor features Kohler 16hp cast iron engine, gently used 42" deck, concrete wheel weights, tire chains, new Chinesium carburetor, fuel lines and filter, new air filter, 2 new fwd/rev cams.  A starter,  some new gaskets, and miscellaneous parts.  New drive belt and all the belt idler assemblies.  Engine runs but smokes.  Great restoration candidate or a spare engine for you pullers out there.  Call, text or email for a private showing.   No offers considered unless made in person.  Buyer responsible for transportation.  Many more pictures to send to interested persons.

      4hp Kohler k91 issues!
      By Jennifer
      Husband wants some advice… lol.  So we did an engine swap today on two suburbans because we could not get the one engine to spark all the time to get it running!  The engine ran last year before parking for the winter sleep…. Points were changed out for new the engine was cleaned to make good contact has new spark plug new coil condenser we even switched out the fly wheel today thinking maybe the magnet was weak…. Advice???   It would where are you out yanking on the recoil five or so times and maybe only get the points to fire twice if you’re lucky..  checked the gap and pull again… same thing over and over!  Thanks in advance!
