Hello, We are looking for a replacement engine. We have a K582S with Spec number 36274.
Our engine is mounted on a rope pulling rig for underground electrical construction. Is there a new model with the same specs, bolt patterns as this one. Thank you, Charles Royal
Mr Royal,
I have a used k582 for sale. The base mounting should be the same
Hi, do you still have this kohler engine?
