Kohler PA-KT745-3088 7000 Series 26 HP Vertical Shaft Engine

Replacement engine for select Bad Boy mowers originally equipped with Kohler PA-KT745-3031 / KT745-3031. Kohler PA-KT745-3088 is a 747cc, air-cooled, V-Twin, vertical shaft gasoline engine in the Kohler 7000 Series KT745 family. This engine is commonly used as the updated replacement specification for the earlier PA-KT745-3031 Bad Boy mower engine.

Important: Engine spec numbers matter. PA-KT745-3031 and PA-KT745-3088 share the same basic KT745 engine platform, but external build items such as wiring, throttle/choke controls, fuel line routing, guards, muffler hardware, and OEM brackets can vary by mower model. Always compare your original engine tag, crankshaft size, wiring plug, controls, and mounting before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Is PA-KT745-3088 the same as PA-KT745-3031?
Answer: They are not always identical in every external attachment, but they are the same KT745 7000 Series 26 HP engine family. PA-KT745-3088 is commonly used as the replacement or updated build for PA-KT745-3031 Bad Boy mower engines.

Question: Will I need to reuse parts from my old engine?
Answer: Possibly. It is common to reuse the muffler, heat shields, wiring adapter, throttle/choke brackets, PTO clutch hardware, spacers, pulley parts, or mower-specific mounting hardware.

Question: Does this include the muffler?
Answer: No, unless the listing specifically states otherwise. Assume the muffler system is not included.

Question: Why do Kohler spec numbers matter?
Answer: The KT745 model identifies the engine family. The final spec number, such as 3031 or 3088, identifies the OEM build configuration. That can affect external controls, wiring, fuel routing, emissions calibration, and equipment-specific hardware.

Question: What should I check before ordering?
Answer: Match the engine tag, crankshaft size, shaft orientation, wiring, throttle/choke setup, mounting, muffler configuration, and PTO clutch arrangement. When in doubt, send photos of your engine tag, crankshaft, wiring plug, and mower model before ordering.
