1986 417a Kohler

Hi,

I'm working on putting a stator on my 417.  I'm having trouble finding the plug that the stator plugs into.  

I've looked through the files without success.

 

Can anyone help?

Well, I see that it plugs into the "alternator" .

Another question is what oil filter do I use for this motor? And which transmission filter?  I have a Napa near by...

 

Thanks, Cory

If you have an oil filter on the engine it is not an original WH installed Kohler.  WH didn't use filter.  Maybe some one added one in which case i would use what ever they used.  Tranny Wix 51410

Thanks @pfrederi, can someone point me in the right direction to get spare points and condenser for this motor?

Which K do I have?

Did you mean voltage regulator? Then there should be a 3rd wire added to take the regulated charge current to the battery or ignition switch.

I'm looking into that tonight @gwest_ca.  

 

I'm not good with electrical.  I'm hoping I'll learn some things along the way.

All I can say for the last couple days, this tractor has gotten a good cleaning.

 

Dealing with "normal" issues on it after 5 years of sitting.

I worked on the 417 again today.... Just a little update of what I've done so far...

 

Installed new spark plugs and got the starter I ordered. The old starter had a lot of play. 

 

I got new fuel lines for it and flushed the gas tank out. 

 

This is a slow going project mostly because of long hours at work typically 7 days a week.  

@gwest_ca. Can you move this back to the original topic?  

 

I was hoping to provide a general description of how I end up getting this 417a running well again and not just fixing the electrical stuff.

 

Also, I changed the engine oil today. I'm still shocked that this motor came without an oil filter from the factory.
