There are three different oil seals for the M-18. The correct one for your Engine (M18S-24506) is: X-583-5.

You can NOT order parts simply based on a group model number.

Don't ask me how I know this.

Whats the secret to making sure I order the correct part? Is it based on serial number?

The engine Model & Spec number, ie: "M18S-24506".

Kohler made hundreds of M18 versions, to meet an OEM requirement. To know for sure, "always" look parts up by "spec" number.

Thanks for the info, I ve read about that, Its interesting the "I save tractors" site did not ask about a spec number, that led me to believe the seals would be the same. I guess I should of checked here first.

The seals you got are likely the correct Kohler parts. What are the part numbers on them? Remember the pto end is called the rear / flywheel side is the front.

Maybe I can muddy the crystal ball.
The early KT17's had a slightly smaller seal on the flywheel end.
Kohler learned that they had problems with the crankshaft in heavy duty applications, like skid steer usage. ( among other problems)
Some snapped the crankshaft as flywheels are like gyroscopes inasmuch as they resist change in motion, and a application like skid steers are something that is anything but stable usage.
SOOO they increased the crank diameter slightly in the area of the seal/and flywheel taper when the improved K T17 series II's and Magnums were built.
The series II and better yet, Magnums, were the best of that design at that time.

Today it is cost effective to assemble a "kit" of seals/gaskets covering all like models even if some are not used, than it is to stock many kits.
Inventory is money laying in warehouses/shelves.

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.
