Glad I found your video. Seen it after ordering the flywheel for $442.00. Called Vogel Manufacturing to confirm theirs was the right one. Canceled the flywheel order! While I was counting the teeth I discovered 2 more spots with missing teeth! Apparently the original ring gear was made from some kind of crappy material..Comforting to know the next one is good quality. THANK YOU FROM SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA.!
Thank you for this eye opening video as I’m in nz and the cost of a whole flywheel is 1200 dollars can’t buy ring gear here but got one off eBay this morning I used a punch to get the ring gear off 😊. Vince
Great video ! That really stinks that Kohler wont sell just the ring gear. Good thing for Vogel MFG, but I think they are out of stock as I type this. Hope they can manufacture some more ! 👨🔧
Is it working OK for you sill? I may order one but wonder about reliability. My mower is down till I fix this! Thank you for posting this video, it really helped! I did order one.
Rose, Mine was already broken. You may be able to split the gear with a chisel and large hammer. Or remove the flywheel, flip it over and then use a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder to cut through it. Good luck, Steve
Thanks for the video, I have the same problem on a Kohler Courage Pro 25hp, ring gear is cracked and missing 2 teeth! They use crappy, cheap Chinese steel, why isn't the ring gear welded on? Stupid idiot engineers!
