FB460V IPL needed

[KE4AVB]

I know this is probably a lost cause unless Kawasaki comes thru but I looking for the PDF IPL for a FB460V-CS07.

And before someone says the engine spec don't exist. Of course "F" is missing.

Is it in a John Deere? If so, you may have to go to them as we did.

Nope, besides I can lookup nearly all those JD Kawasaki engines otherwise and buying using the Kawasaki really saves me and my customer money. This by going thru an European website.

It is on a Ransomes [Bunton, Bobcat, Ryan] M36-12M Commercial work behind.

I had one on an Exmark, couldnt find that kawi spec in any other parts lookups until I found an Exmark parts catalog. Same issue with Toro-Wheelhorse (and the part needed was only ever available through Toro, and it was obsoleted, so I ended up having to repower the tractor, despite the engine being in otherwise pristine condition, for the lack of a $20 part, it basically went to the scrap heap) Seems to me that it depends on the manufacturer that Kawasaki made them for, especially if they were a custom specification that would only ever fit a specific model series, basically seems Kawasaki did contract manufacturing, they'd build to the customer's design requirements (including parts) and the rest (warranty, customer service, parts supply chain, etc) was all up to the brand the engine was built for.

What I have found out about the two Kawasaki websites is that the US one will not put up the IPLs for the JD specs but EU site will. Also there is difference which other IPLs both site will put up too. Very frustrating try to repair the older equipment when idiots like Kawasaki and other OEM refuses to provide the info.

A lot of it is just like the Chinese selling equipment but not providing after the sell parts.

I do know the float valve that I ordered is the wrong one.

And it is irritating to get things in for repairs the the OEM will not provide parts for. I Homelite electric log splitter that I can't get cylinder seals for. And I had a kids ATV last that was only 9 months old that parts were NLA. ARGGG.

Gradually ordering parts for the above by piece mill method. Mainly needed intake gaskets, bowl gaskets, needle valve, head gasket, and breather cover gasket. It is a slow process of comparing images to part numbers. What a shame Kawasaki wants to such a pain in the backside.
