Hipa Stator for Kohler & John Deere Engines 237878-S — 15A/20A Direct-Fit Replacement for CV CH K SV Series

Hipa 237878-S is a direct-fit stator designed to restore charging and ignition performance on compatible Kohler and John Deere small engines.

This replacement stator is built as a drop-in electrical component for a wide range of Kohler CV, CH, SV, K and E-series engines, plus select John Deere residential mowers (LX and STX lines). It’s sized and wired to match the factory specifications for 15A and 20A systems, letting you replace a worn or damaged stator without modifying the engine harness or mounting points.

How do I know this stator will fit my engine?

Check the engine model and existing part number against the compatibility list before ordering. The Hipa 237878-S matches many Kohler and John Deere OEM references and drops into the original stator location using factory fasteners.

• Compare your current part number (e.g., 237878-S or equivalent Kohler/MTD numbers).
• Verify engine series: CV, CH, SV, K, E-series and listed John Deere LX/STX models.
• Confirm connector type and mounting holes visually to ensure plug-and-play fit.

What electrical performance should I expect after installation?

This stator is offered in 15 Amp and 20 Amp variants to match your machine’s charging load and ignition requirements. Once installed, it restores the alternator output to bring the battery charging and lighting circuits back to operating range without additional tuning.

• Designed to meet original amperage ratings for stable charging.
• Compatibility with standard ignition coils and regulator/rectifiers.
• Insulated windings and soldered connections for reliable output under load.

What’s included and what should I inspect before ordering?

The package includes a single stator assembly. To avoid returns, double-check your engine’s model and the part number from the old stator, and inspect connectors and physical mounting points.

• One replacement stator in the box—no extra hardware or gaskets.
• Ensure your engine’s model matches the compatibility list provided.
• Look for matching wire colors and plug style for straightforward installation.

How difficult is installation and what basic tools are needed?

Replacement is moderate difficulty for someone comfortable with small-engine maintenance. Basic hand tools and attention to timing/clearance are required; follow safety steps like disconnecting the spark plug and supporting the flywheel.

• Common tools: socket set, screwdrivers, flywheel puller if needed, torque wrench.
• Take note of coil-to-flywheel air gap and any timing marks during reassembly.
• When in doubt, consult a service manual or a qualified technician for correct torque and gap settings.

Who this is for: This Hipa stator suits DIY lawn mower owners, small-engine repair shops, and maintenance techs who need a factory-style replacement for Kohler-powered walk-behinds, zero-turn mowers and residential tractors—especially John Deere LX/STX owners—looking to restore charging and ignition functionality without reworking the engine wiring.
