Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Kohler connecting rod assembly for selected M18-series engines, including M18-24500 and M18-24501. Marked .010, it follows the OEM size code of 0.010 in (approx. 0.25 mm), used where this specification is required by the engine build. The rod links the piston to the crankshaft and is critical to smooth running, correct oil clearances, and long service life. Manufactured from a robust aluminium alloy with precision-machined bearing surfaces, it is designed for durability under continuous use. Supplied to OEM standards for fit and finish, it is suitable for garden tractors, ride-on mowers, and other machinery powered by Kohler M18 engines. As a genuine part, it supports reliable rebuilding and maintenance without trial-and-error adjustment.
