Description
Overview:
The Plate, Backing #2 Side is a genuine Kohler engine component designed to provide solid support and alignment for side-mounted assemblies on selected engines, including the Kohler Command CV22. Supplied under OEM No. 24 146 18-S, this durable metal backing plate helps maintain structural rigidity around the side cover area, supporting reliable sealing and consistent clearances under vibration. It is intended for use on lawn and garden equipment, turf care machinery, and similar power equipment driven by compatible Kohler engines. As a direct-fit service part, it helps restore factory geometry during maintenance and rebuilds. This part has been discontinued by Kohler, but the specification and fit remain relevant for existing engines that require like-for-like replacement.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler part for assured compatibility and fit (OEM 24 146 18-S)
- Robust metal construction for stability and long service life
- Helps maintain alignment and support for side-mounted engine components
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged backing plates on compatible engines
- Straightforward to fit using standard workshop tools and existing fasteners
- Suitable for routine servicing, overhauls, and preventative maintenance
- Aids consistent sealing performance by supporting the side cover assembly
Typical Applications:
Used during engine servicing or rebuilds on compatible Kohler engines to replace a damaged or corroded backing plate. Common in ride-on mowers, zero-turn mowers, garden tractors, and commercial turf equipment powered by the Kohler Command CV series. Ideal where stable support and proper alignment of the side cover and related components are critical to maintaining engine efficiency and reliability.

Side backing plate #2, engine side backing plate, side cover backing plate, engine support plate, side support plate, mounting backing plate, Kohler Command backing plate.
