100R getting a new heart
 

Alright ladies and gentleman, the 100R been in the corner being not used cause the 12hp wore out. Been debating on what I should do for an engine. I got a guy saying he'll trade a 12hp and a 14hp Kohler for my cyclops plastic I have lying around. I plan on putting the 14hp in the 100, hopefully have a little more power. Is there anything I should look into on the engine before I get into on this project. I know what to look for, but are balance gears an issue. If it has them how do i get rid of them?

A 14HP doesn't fit in the frame...... :bigthink:

I know I gotta notch the frame out.

Or use the 12hp flywheel and tinwork.

Keep us updated, Donovan!

Yeah, since you have all the parts anyway, use the 10/12 hp backing plate, flywheel and tins on the 14 hp engine. Then you won't have to cut up a perfectly good frame and it will be kind of a "sleeper".

The smaller fly wheel won't damage anything. If not that'll make my life easier. Cause then I'll just pop off the K-301 parts and put them on the 14hp.

No, the smaller flywheel won't hurt anything.

I only have one 14 hp engine that is set up with the smaller flywheel and related parts, but I think it may be the strongest engine that I have.

Okay, thanks guys. Can't wait till Saturday when I get it. I'm gonna make a custom exhaust for this. I'm thinking dual chrome pipes

Sounds good, Donovan!

I have never done that swap but i have talked to people that did and they said it worked fine. Been thinking about doing one for myself.

Sorry about not getting any updates in. But great news the transplant went great. Runs like a top and love the power.

Great job, Donovan! 100R is looking tough!

Thanks Allen, all I need for the girl are decals and she'll be hopefully done.

Came out good Donovan.:beer2:

Way to go Bud! :beerchug:

Thanks everyone, soon after I got the engine in. It had to come back out. The fly wheel nut got lose, after I got that tight, she's good to go.
