Default Kohler rebuild kits
Hey guys I was wondering if there are any OEM gasket or rebuild kits to be purchased for Kohler K series engines. If not at least key parts like seals or bearings, can they be purchased from a OEM supplier? If I cant get any OEM parts are the aftermarket kits just as good? If anybody has any info please send it my way and pointers on rebuilding a K161 would be greatly appriciated. Contact me through PM
Thank You

Joe

You will need the Kohler manual. It shows how to do a rebuild and has all of the needed specs.

Our sponsors at the top of each page should be able to get you set up with a Kohler rebuild kit. I use aftermarket myself, except for the head gasket and crank seals in which I do use Kohler for.

The last NAPA head gasket I picked up had the fire ring, pretty much a dead on copy of the Kohler just $4 cheaper.

We'll see how she works once I get the ol 107 runnin

I just go to Napa auto, 5 miles from my house. Better than driving 16 miles to a cub dealer & paying a bit more.

Nik,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
