Vogel Manufacturing's high-quality replacement ring gear for the Kohler Command V-Twin flywheels and Kohler Courage flywheels. 

VM's aftermarket ring gear is better than stock!
Our hardened steel ring gear is not made from powdered metal!

At Vogel Manufacturing, we developed this product due to our needs in garden tractor pulling motorsports. The factory flywheel starter ring gears are made with a powdered metal that brakes easily. Our engineers designed this starter ring gear to be a direct replacement for factory but made with a strong heat-treated steel to stand up to the demands of our sport.


Fits Kohler Command V-Twin flywheels and Kohler Courage OEM flywheels. Use the specifications below to check for fit:

The ring gear has 97 teeth. 
I.D. = 220 mm (8.661 inches)
O.D. = 251 mm (9.882 inches) 

When installed on a flywheel it will add about 1.5 lbs. to the overall rotating mass.

Note: We do not have model numbers to reference. Please use the above dimensions & tooth count for compatibility. 
****Checking the specifications above is the responsibility of the buyer.****


Note: This IS NOT a replacement ring gear for the Single Cylinder Flathead Kohler K-series 9.5" flywheels.
