149 engine
 

Having trouble trying to find the Kohler number for a short block that fits my 149. I have found a new Kohler short block, but can’t seem to find if the number 4752255 is the correct engine. I know they mace several versions for different makes. Hope someone known more than I do here. Thanks

Is the original engine re-buildable?

It should be able to be rebuilt. Just smokes and has the Kohler rattle. Was hoping to get a spare one

The 149 rolled out of the Factory with K321-60226. The Short Block for that engine was 77-522-46, which is NLA from Kohler. You may find it on the internet, as left over or NOS inventory.

Any idea what that 4752255 fits?

An internet search pops up as a K321-60318 for a John Deere.

Thank you! I couldn’t come up with it. Guy wants $800

Can that be used in a cub 149? I know the block is different on the oil pan area

FWIW, screenshot from Jack's Small Engines....

and another from the OEM Parts Store....

I had a 210, and a 212, they both had oil pans like the Cub Cadets but the pto shaft end is different I believe.
Here is a pic of a replacement engine from the parts manual.
