Can anyone offer a little help with my question? I posted it last night. "I have a kohler crankshaft question. I have a crankshaft on my desk in front of me that is supposed to be for a K321 14 hp. Are there any numbers on this crank for ID purposes? How do I verify what it is for? I am planning a rebuild on my 1450."
Thanks.

Charlie-

That's the only pic I need. I just wanted to make sure that is what I thought it was.

Hey Kentuck, Just the opposite of your 416 pm post. In auto tech class back in high school, my teacher talked of a carb cleaner used in the 60's. If you left the carb soaked to long, the cleaner ate the carb!

Thomas,
The 14HP crank has a 3.25" stroke. So the center of the shaft to the center of the crank pin is 1.625. The main bearings are 1.5745" and the crank pin is 1.5000".

If that's how is measures up there is a good chance its a 14hp crank.

Terry,
Thank You for your response. I'll check out the measurements.

Todd - That's what I was getting at ... nowadays it's to weak to clean.

Ron - On that "DP" , it's only counter bored on one side according to the drawing.

Charlie-

One more thing about that bushing. Would you happen to know what the OD of that is, by any chance?

Good morning, All. Don wasn't here long enough for me to put him to work, but he did get a chance to try Lucy.

Navigator and pilot, shortly before riding off into the snowstorm:

Micheal: Check out Cub Cadet Warehouse I consider him Northern In. Good guy and he has used and new stuff. I know "been there and done that."

Charlie: Yep looking for another to rebuild but as I wait and try to pry the money from my lovely wife's fingers I am refurbishing and restoring a Ertyl IH Pedal tractor for my grandaughter bought it for her dad back in 1974.

Don: There is a very good chance that I might be heading to Halifax next summer and I mean a very good chance.

now excuse me the 1650 and I got to go move some more "Blankety" snow.

KENtucky, there is a counter bore, the hole is drilled all the way through at 0.51" diameter and is drilled 0.2" deep at 0.67" diameter. Of course, having the actual PDF file helps.

1 1/8" OD.
You want me to mic it?

Am needing to know if "new" lower belt pulley for an original are still around anywhere? (No NO-- not the evel poof)Would like to know what the thickness of the clutch fibre on the two sides was when new. Am trying to estemate lifespan that may be left.
