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 in it.

His old one has some teeth broken. I see the following note and wonder if that is the reason they changed to steel: "Kohler has changed from powdered metal ring gears to steel ring gears."

Anybody got any suggestions on a source?

Many thanks.

there may be a ring gear replacement for your flywheel

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.

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 what these fit: Link
