Does not have a set of points, so that would be breakerless correct?

Yes and they are easily fried or just fail.  Look at the Kohler manual there are specific tests for breakerless.

More then likely fried. Can't get replacements anymore either correct?

You can get used parts from ebay but if thy work they are pricey.  Not too hard/expensive to convert to coil and points system....

More then likely it seems like I'll have to convert it. Get plunger, set of points, condenser, coil, and new ignition switch. Currently the ignition is only a 4 post as well

You should test the trigger and the coil...One or the other may still be OK.  if so selling it can help with your conversion cost.

If you do not want to test the coil and trigger would you sell them???

Looking to see who else has done conversion and if I need to replace stator as well

You can use the stator on there. Just have to isolate or remove wire going to breakerless ignition. My 69 Raider 12 since the early 80's.

Check out this thread by @Aldon. Also, Brian Miller's web site has good information you can use.

Years back I purchased several nos triggers. I keep them only for the purest who wants a 100% original engine. All others I convert to the point system. Very reliable. Not that the triggers were bad. They weren’t. Just a high dollar part now.  Miller is a talented guy with good parts. If you don’t convert to points I would recommend you talk to him.

I have as complete breaker-less ignition set-up I removed from a 12 horse, didn't test anything, just replaced stator, flywheel, coil, & exciter. Do not know condition, I wanted 15 amp system, so I changed everything but blower shroud & spec number.    Ron

Okay so my thought is to leave that stator. Run those 2 wires from stator to rectifier, rewire machine to run points, condenser and coil. Just remove the coil and magneto from behind flywheel as well. Just need to remove the plug, install parts, gap points, rewire and done

      I finally broke something serious on my GT14 the Lift arm that is attach (by chain) to the plow snapped off at the receiver arm top which is attached to the Hydro cylinder on the bottom. It appears the broken arm was welded there (see pics) my big question is how do get the "H" arm which is mounted on each side of the tractor by the steel plates the go up from the tractor frame out. I took off the four mounting bolts for it but it is tightly fit in aforementioned side plates I can move it up and down but cannot get it out. Is it relatively easy to remove one of the side plates and if yes which side is the easiest the pedal side left side (from the back) or the right side (from the back). Has anyone from the square experienced this problem, does anyone have this lift assembly. Any and all comments welcomed. p.s. I have used this beast for 10 years with zero major issues guess the stress of the lifting finally got to the arm which obviously is under tremendous pressure......Rob

      Hi Guys, got a K321 14HP Kohler in house with all the electrical components removed. I cleaned and aligned the points, added a 12v (resistor coil) positive 12V battery feed to positive terminal, ran a line from the negative side of the coil to the points. I know I have to add a condenser also to the negative side. My question is does location of the condenser matter i.e. next to the coil or is closer to the points better. Thanks Rob

      I was looking around on ebay and noticed that hydraulic actuators from John Deere 312, 317, etc models appear to be Identical to a Gt14 or d series lift cylinder. My question is would a new cylinder from ebay be able to replace one that is on a gt14 or d series?
       
      Images below of cylinders to show similaritys.

      I have a question about the 69’ model. I took my tank out to work on carb easier. A couple weeks later as I put it back together & after cleaning everything; I replaced the white weatherstripping that was at bottom of tank and on the corners of the strap. Seems to be all that holds it in place. Because the strap around the tank will not go around the metal bracket on bottom and fit the tank. And even if it did the strap would only line up with the bracket mounting bolts which would be in the way. What did I miss? Didn’t pay close enough attention when I took it apart and can’t see in the parts diagram where the strap does go around the bracket. The weather stripping is tacky enough that the tank stays in place and it is a made to fit perfectly in position. Just seems that the metal strap is pointless.

      I have a old gt14 and the plastic plates or control panels are way past their prime, and I saw someone was remarking them with a 3d printer a little while back and I was looking to se if I could find the file but no luck. If anybody has info that would be amazing. Thanks for your time and anything helps.
