For the Kohler, best bet would be to post pics of the machine and arm where the crank would mount.

I didn't realize that! Thanks for that information. Are you sure your 1890s 28 is a 28, and not a VS3?
My VS2 has no motor mount, but my very late model 1913 27 (according to ismacs) has the motor mount. Now that I think about it, the 1912 28 also has a motor / HC mount as well.
