TC10284 113 #1 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) I picked up another 312-8 today for $40. Mostly great condition tractor. Came with new battery and 42" deck (needs major patching at height adjustment lever). The main issue is that the previous owner I think, tried to put on a new ignition coil and did not properly adjust it. Ended up breaking one of the ignition coil standoffs off. Is there a way this can be fixed? I do NOT have the original standoff. I am trying to find out if he happens to have it. I am assuming not.

JoeM 8,333 #4 Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Looks like a 12HP Magnum backing plate #47 146 11-S Not available new might try A-Z or one of the parts vendors, classified section, or evil bay. Looks like M16 is the same plate https://www.partstree.com/models/m12-471546-kohler-magnum-engine-made-for-wheel-horse-12hp-9kw/crankcase-03050033394-10/ https://www.partstree.com/models/m16-711523-kohler-magnum-engine-made-for-wheel-horse-16hp-11-9kw/crankcase-0309003791-14/ Edited May 15, 2021 by JoeM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
