Default ignition coil
my ignition coil went out in my "O". does anybody have a part # for a replacement coil with the internal resistor. I seen a thread the R Bedell recommends the bosch 00012, but i cant find one locally. does any of the part stores sell the correct coil. thanks in advance.

If a parts guy can't find a 12v coil with an internal resistor, RUN!!! A 12v coil is a 12v coil, Kind of like air for a tire, any will work.

thanks R Bedell. i also just found that NAPA part # 701634 is also a direct replacement for these kohler engines with the internal resistor. thanks again

There is more to an Ignition Coil than 12 Volts.

There is specifications on the Primary Resistance (Ohms) and the the Secondary Resistance to achieve the desired output voltage to jump across the spark plug gap. That output voltage can be 10,000VDC plus. The wider the gap, the higher the output voltage. Consideration is given to the Amperage Draw on the Primary so it don't burn your points out too fast.

SO....if you have the right ignition coil, you will get the desired results along with the appropriate longevity on the points.

per the NAPA website, it says part # 701634 is an exact replacement for kohler k141-k361. your right not all coils are created equal. thanks again R Bedell.

I have my doubts that you would notice any difference between coils. you might see it if you put it on an oscilloscope as the secondary voltage mat be different,but you would never feel it. As for the points, they are nothing but a switch that turns the coil on and off, again 12 volts is 12 volts (6-8 with an exterior resistor).

This is one of those textbook theory issues that in real life mean nothing, I used to have a long drawn out algebra formula that proved that 1=2 (the bank never bought into it).

Im pretty sure you need to find a coil with 3 Ohm internal resistance. Most of the high output coils have lower than 3 Ohm internal resistance and you would need to use a ballast resistor or the points would pit up prematurely.

There is probably no functional benefit that you would receive from the HO coils. Those are mostly to ignite the fuel under higher compression ratio situations.

Best bet (if you don't feel like researching it to death) is to buy the Kohler part number.

Default coil
A few years ago on the weekend coil died on my 122.I was hoping to put back in the shed. So off to Autozone the closest open parts source. I asked for a 12v coil with internal resistor and got a confused look. I then asked for a coil for around a '68 VW. That was in stock, opened the box and said for use with internal resistor system. I bought for around 30$ came home put on and have been using since. I don't have lot of run time on this coil but has so far worked with no problems.

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.
