thanks for the info.

dont forget about the muffler and aircleaner. the muffler on a 169 is different from all the other Kohler single bangers. its allot bigger and ALLOT harder to find. same with the air cleaner. bigger. but take a cleaner off the KT17 or M18 kohlers (i think) it is the same.

Ryan is right about the part interchange between 109/129/149 and the 169's as far as the hydro control lever and linkages. When it comes to the pto, make sure you find a late 129/149. The 169's had the late style pto with the pto brake for safety reasons. These can get pricey to rebuild. You could always add the earlier style pto to it if you wanted to. Good luck and post some pics when you get her home.

When I said "engine", I figured that refrenced the muffler, breather, etc.

i can get a pic of my 102 and where its at, its to the left and down of the key switch, the 122 is obviously in the same spot. the 102 is across town so if i dont have one on the phone it will be awhile before i can get one possibly tommoro im getting ready to lay down for a nap (3rd shift makes things difficult) and i had to pressure wash the 80 i picked up the other day ill post pics of that in a different post

Thanks! I thought that is where the light switch went. So where does the light switch go? Well at least on my 129 I put it there because the manual refers to it there. But the manual talks nothing of the cigarette lighter. I imagine running a power inverter or small air compressor etc off of it. I seen my father-in-law run an electric blower off his Wheel Horse with a power inverter bolted on the hood and hard wired to the battery. Of course I could light cigarettes too!
