Vertical shaft kohler magnum to Horizonal??
I know someone on the other site found that you could flip the vertical shaft to a horizonal magnum. something to do with the oil pickup near oil pump. I know someone with a bunch of vertical shaft magnums Twins. May need a replacement someday. Would like to try it. Thanks for any info. Tim

Re: Vertical shaft kohler magnum to Horizonal??
I've done this once. Personally I think you are better off using horizontal cases. The vertical cases have 10+ more holes drilled into them than the horizontal cases. I know a couple of them have to be plugged. i don't know what difference the other holes make. The other issues you'll run into is the pto end of the crank needs turned down to make a pto fit, the oil pickup is different, and the entire intake and exhaust systems are different. Other than that, everything interchanges. If you can find a set of horizontal series 2 crankcases, you can use those by plugging the holes for the points.

Thanks for the reply AJGross. I knew there was something to it. I may just get one anyway just to experiment.
