Bearing plate???

[Shuboxlover 480]

Does anyone know if a bearing plate from a Kohler  K321 (14 HP) will fit on a Kohler K301 (12 HP)?

 

Thanks in advance

Not all K301s and K 321s are created equal. Got to check the size of the flywheel, are both starter equipped or is the K301 S/.G equipped?. If they were both from  they should work but I would check the Spec. #s against the Kohler parts manual first.

 I have a K341 and a K 321 plate here I can look at. Both off of non start gen models.

Thanks guys,  both of these motors have a starter...NOT a starter generator.  The 14hp is from a GT-14 and the 12HP is from a C-120.  I'm hoping for a direct swap.

I'm pretty sure it will work.

Thank you!

I would check the spec# of the engines first.  12 hp used 4615603  235354   235998   4515602    14 hp use 4615603  and 4515602   are  the differences are significant who knows..

These are the 2 I have. I think the one on the right was off of an older K301. Has the rear timing hole. The other is off of a K341. Has the 4 holes for the stator. Physically they are the same size. If you need either of these you can have them CHEEP!

If the recipient engine is a breakerless looks like he would need the one on the left.

Plate on my rebuilt K321 pretty much identical to the one on the left.

Breakerless trigger needs the mounting points.  (Would have to be drilled and tapped.)

Both of the engines (donor and recipient)  have points.

 

Thanks
