I was attempting to remove my toilet to put down new flooring and accidentally broke the base of the bowl. So I think to myself, ok I’ll just buy a new bowl. I bought a Kohler K-4303-96 Wellworth biscuit toilet bowl online and had it delivered to the house.
Yesterday I set the bowl and in my naivete just assumed my old tank would fit, wrong. So I go back online to look for a tank and it says I need a Kohler K-4645 and they are priced at about $300 just for the tank. No way.
So what I’m asking is, do all Kohler toilets have the same mounting locations and is the drain from the tank to the toilet in the same location?
I can get a reasonably priced Kohler model K-4620-96 but no one seems to know if it will fit.
I know, I know, in an attempt to save myself a few dollars I’ve really messed things up. Lesson learned.

I know, as I said in my original post, lesson learned.
I did, I can't get through. They have a voice mail that says "we're overloaded, put your question in writing we'll answer sometime" or close to that.
You need a k-4645 to work with the toilet bowl you have. This is because you have a bowl designed for a 1.4 gal pressure flush.
I don't think any other tank will work with this bowl.
Complete toilet code is K-3505 plus seat.
A standard wellworth is much less K-3422 for complete toilet plus seat.
Thanks for the help everyone, As much as I hate to I've decided to eat the loss and just go to the plumbing supply and buy a complete toilet. Thanks again.
