Old Kohler 7.5 Generator

[scott foote]

I have a 1968 Hat 44 TriCabin in which is installed a Kohler 7.5 using an outdated german engine (may be a Dietz) as its power. Apparenlty Kohler purchased these from John Deere for a couple of years before switching to different engines. The trouble I am having is finding parts for this engine. Anyone know where oil filters, fuel filters or spare parts are located???

If it is a Duetz, then try to get a model or serial # off of the block and then call a Duetz dealer. I have an old, old Duetz on a de-watering pump at my quarry site and we use AIS Equipment in Lansing, MI for parts and service. But, you will need to know what specific engine you have.
