I did bend the Kwik way on the Mt1800. But I had modified it for longer bucket cylinders...oops.

Tom-
Thanks for the info on your 169. I got it in the list, but as you can see, the engine serial number doesn't match up with the rest of them for a standard (1974) build. Are you sure that's the correct number?

Tom H - here's what Art is eluding to. The Kohler K-series Engine Service Manual has a chart that breaks down a serial number to identify the year an engine was built. In your case your serial Number 12059855 has 8 digits and according to the chart for 8 digit serial numbers, if the first 3 digits are 120 then your engine was built in 1982.

For your engine to have been built in 1974 when the 169 was built, the Kohler serial number should have 7 digits and the first digit has to be a 6 and the 2nd digit can be between 0 to 9. If you look at Art's chart again you'll see all the original engines have serial numbers beginning with the number 6 and the 2nd digit is from 1 to 3. In my case my engine is Serial No. 6272028 and 62 shows on the chart for 7 digit serial numbers as being built in 1974.

Harry - your spell checker/thesaurus needs it's 2,000,000 word overhaul. You may not be sure what I'm alluding to, but if it's still eluding you, wait, it'll come to you sooner or later.

Gerry, sometimes mistakes like that are known as "optical illusions". They just look right!

 

[kide]

Allen - you are correct - at my age, my brain can't tell allusions from illusions... I just had to tweak Harry - I'm sure he's restoring his dictionary program right now, at least giving it a Lube, oil, filter and a new coat of IHC Yellow and White...

Are you kidding me? Harry doesn't do any job with a 110%-100 point restoration, rendering the object in question to be useless and only to be seen from behind glass.
