Nice little Kohler....
I picked up this nice little Kohler engine at the scrap yard a couple of weeks ago and I just got the chance to get it running. It runs really nice but pretty much every seal is "gummy". Parts should still be available, I hope.

I'll be removing the gear reduction assembly and painting it before I put it on the mini.

Does any one know what horse power it may be? My guess is 3 - 3.5hp. But I'm not too familiar with Kohler engines. The Model Type is RT.

I'm guessing the crankshaft is splined for that gear reduction unit......at least everyone I've had has been splined.

Let us know if it's not.

Your engine appears to be a K91, which is 4 HP. There should be a "K" followed by two or three numbers on the tag located on the fan shroud.
Here's the site for the service and owner's manuals. Parts are still readily available for your engine.
