Gentlemen:
Able to breakdown some of the 1450 over the last few days. Pulled the motor and found the rubber mounts trashed ofcourse. The left rear oil pan bolt worked its way out over the years and hollowed out the hole enough to where i need a new pan. I want to go cast iron. Will any 12-14-16hp kohler pan work? or do i need to be 14hp specific?
I found this thing setting in a scrap iron pile....told its been there for 4 or 5 years....its actually one of the cleanest cubs i've come across...nothing has been molested...check out the wiring...
this is the way it came...haven't cleaned it yet..not alot of dirt or oil...
The engine bay is a different story...
Well, almost non molested...whats up with the weld?
Rear pan and fender in excellent shape...except for the battery box...
This is how it sets now...not a complete teardown, but enough to get it cleaned up...i'll tear into the motor and see what that looks like....
