Help! I need a spec number off of a K321AQS engine for a 1450
 

My brother works for Kohler, and he is trying to line me up a new engine. The lady he talked to said he needed a spec number off of the blower housing. Can anyone help me, or am I in search of "muffler bearings"?

BajaGTO-

I just went out and checked my 1450 and I can only read the first two numbers of the serial number. I can't even see the spec; it's behind the side frame. Someone out there has an engine on blocks and will get you the number soon, I'm sure.

Sorry I couldn't help....

A common Spec Number for a K321AQS (14HP - Cub 1450) would be...60291

My TC-157 Parts Manual for the IH Model 1450 shows a replacement K-321AQS Service Engine has a Kohler (part) # of PA-60312.

Further Research:

The complete engine assemblies cited by Roland and myself above are, of course, NLA

However!! TC-157 lists the following for 1450 replacements:

1) The 77-522-46 short block assembly for a K-321 w/o shoulder mounted dipsticks show to be available from Cub Cadet at @ +/- $1650.00...(ouch).

2) The 77-522-48 short block assembly for a K-321 with shoulder mounted dipsticks is shown to be available from Cub Cadet @ +/- $1550.00 ( more ouch)

Those short block assembly numbers should allow your Brother to get what you want.. You'll just have to use the old oil pan, carb etc...

You were right on with the 77-522-48. The problem is, eben with his doscount I am looking at over $700.

Think I will keep looking for a used one.
