mikehusky455 16 #1 Posted October 19, 2016 I got what I think is a well dumb question,on a k321 or any side shaft that the pulley is on the right side ,sitting on machine.is the motor turning,forward or back.im thinking clockwise.ive seen a few vids that look like there turning counterclockwise.

illinilefttackle 399 #2 Posted October 19, 2016 Kohler is turning counter-clockwise when looking straight at it- Most other engines also- Good Luck!- Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehusky455 16 #3 Posted October 19, 2016 I guess you would think pulley needs to go forward but guess not.i suppose if all else fails with this motor I could throw on one from a snowblower ,I got lots of those.just one of those things I never realy thought of.

pfrederi 18,698 #5 Posted October 19, 2016 for virtually all gas engines Clockwise looking at the flywheel counter clock wise looking at the PTO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehusky455 16 #6 Posted October 19, 2016 ya I see some nice ones but got to at least try this out ,and go from there don't seem like has much compression just by turning over by hand.not even shure if tranny works or 3pt hitch. 2 minutes ago, pfrederi said: for virtually all gas engines Clockwise looking at the flywheel counter clock wise looking at the PTO I always know reg. verticals turn that way .but for some reason I'm always thinking a side shaft turns clockwise from pto side,not shure why,maybe cause driving forward ,you would think pulley needs to go that way.

Ed Kennell 42,082 #7 Posted October 20, 2016 CCW viewed from the PTO side. That is why the belt tensioning pulley is on the top loop of the drive belt. The bottom of the engine drive pulley is pulling the bottom loop of the belt that goes directly to the tranny pulley turning it CCW also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikehusky455 16 #8 Posted October 20, 2016 just always thinking goes cw even though looking at a vertical shaft on its side goes same way.just never thought of it that way.thanks,for reply's just got rid of a Wisconsin-robin 12hp sideshaft not shure if ran but was complete.,traded for a Tecumseh 10hp,for xtra parts on snowblowers since I sell a lot of those and don't have any xtra wisconsins sitting around.maybe should've kept that instead.
