I also found this in the factory manual: "Inspect ring gear for cracks or damage. Kohler does not provide ring gears as a serviceable part. Replace flywheel if ring gear is damaged." Maybe somebody makes an aftermarket ring gear or maybe I can find one on a junked mower. It's hard to know...

Thanks. I will explore that. That would be a much better solution. I stumbled across the following note in the Kohler parts web site for the flywheel: "Kohler has changed from powdered metal ring gears to steel ring gears." That might explain the reason for his broken teeth.

My brother needs a Kohler Part # 3202521S Flywheel Assembly. I am not sure what engine he has. I find them for around $200, but he would like to find one cheaper from somebody who is salvaging small engine parts, if possible. His mower is pretty old and he does not want to put a lots of money...
