Wheelhorse

[DK35vince]

Your Wheel Horse should have the K series engine. That engine was a real work horse and the engine used in the tractors that pull for competition seeing you can buy parts to modify them. They can get a good 50 to 60 HP out of one them. If well maintained you should get another 35 years out if it. The follow up engine is the Kohler Magnum.

Yes it is a 10 HP Kohler K 241
Its been a good one.

Trying to figure out the ignition system right now because I'm unable to get spark.
Kohler K181T Spec 304498

I have a service manual for K181. Send me a PM and I will send it to you

Just to update you guys on the progress I've made with the engine.
Checked it out today and still cant get a spark so I have concluded that the points and condenser set need replacing.
Thanks for all your replies and interest in my wheelhorse project I'll be sure to keep you updated

Got new points and condenser set installed and replaced wiring to the ignition module, fresh fuel lines a filter and spark plug and 2 pulls later she purred to life.
Sorry I had to put this on the back burner as other things took priority.
Unfortunately now the shifter appears to be seized so I've not been able to drive as yet.
If I can get that sorted out then its off to be painted.
