953 nut 58,721 #2 Posted September 17, 2019 Once the engine is apart and has been measured by a machine shop you can begin searching for the needed parts. I wouldn't buy anything prior to having the measurements done. You can find NOS (new old stock) Kohler parts on from time to time, but the aftermarket kits are good quality and cost far less. here are a few of places to shop. https://isavetractors.com/ https://a-ztractor.com/ http://gardentractorpullingtips.com/catalog.htm#rebuildparts 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will need to know if you'll need an over sized piston or under sized rod. Here is one more source for parts. http://www.psep.biz/store/kohler_rebuild_kits.htm 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,176 #4 Posted September 17, 2019 Agree with all the above --- these after market 'overhaul kits' seem to be quite good and are amazingly inexpensive. I have used some 6-8 of the 'kits' and dont know how many gasket sets and had very good luck with them. Received wrong set of rings one time, but seller quickly made good on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
