Description
Overview:
This exhaust deflector is a genuine Kohler component (OEM 24 265 03-S) made from heat‐resistant formed metal with a durable black finish. It mounts at the exhaust outlet to guide hot gases away from the engine and nearby parts, helping to protect shrouds, cables, and plastics from heat exposure and reducing noise direction towards the user. Designed for Kohler Command engines, it is a direct replacement that restores the correct exhaust flow path for reliable day‐to‐day running. Suitable for garden and construction machinery using engines such as the CV18 and CV20, it is built to withstand vibration, thermal cycling, and outdoor conditions, supporting long service life and consistent performance.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler part for assured compatibility and reliability (OEM 24 265 03-S)
- Robust, heat‐resistant metal construction with a protective black finish
- Direct replacement for worn or missing deflectors; straightforward fitment
- Redirects exhaust flow away from engine components and user area
- Helps reduce radiant heat on nearby plastics, wiring, and bodywork
- Supports quieter operation by directing sound away from the operator side
- Designed for daily use in garden and light construction equipment
- Resistant to vibration and temperature cycling for long service life
Typical Applications:
Used on ride‐on mowers, lawn tractors, compact utility machines, generators, and site equipment powered by compatible Kohler engines. Ideal where controlled exhaust direction is needed to protect bodywork and improve operator comfort, especially in enclosed or heat‐sensitive areas around the engine bay.
