I just replace the whole thing while replacing the wax. But maybe people know how to find the model number and order it online. that should cover the ****. |

Digger Nick:
The tank cover is a separate item. Shouldn't have to replace a whole toilet over a top. |

If you can order a new tank cover, that'd be the way to go.
If you can't, I'd use a construction adhesive like LePage's PL Premium to glue the cover back together. |

Back of the tank or inside, Look around more closely. Is it under/bottom of the tank lid cover? Send a photo to KOHLER... |

Temporarily crazy glue should hold. Once it is back together, make a sketch showing all dimensions, and go to a junk yard and look for a used cover.

Clean and dry the edge carefully, then use a slow cure epoxy to glue it together. Scrape excess epoxy off with a razor blade after it begins to harden, and you'll hardly see it. Then be careful with it, as it probably will break again if you aren't. |

If you are devious, tell them it came out of the box that way and you'd like a replacement. If you are somewhat honest, eat it, and go buy another. (no one is totally honest, no jab at you intended.)

Locate a plumbing supply place near you, in the industrial section of town. Take the broken piece with you. Likely you will find it or it can be ordered from a good supply house. Don't break it on the way home - just sayin' |

Sorry for not updating this sooner, but, the part number for the almond Kohler one-piece toilet bowl was stamped on a similar bowl: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7435/...729f7de63b.jpg Putting the information from two toilet bowls together, it's most likely some part of the combined number below: T75 UPC K3384CA 20142 72800 (#70 ALM 08 15) Where I think the 72800 is a date code (i.e., 7/28/00) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5480/...b3b4259ce7.jpg The almond Kohler cover itself was stamped with the imprint: T38 UPC 84250 20304 81100 Where I think the 81100 is a date code (i.e., 8/11/00) https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2911/...064ee99555.jpg Here is a top pictu https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7367/...130ceb3224.jpg And a bottom shot: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2911/...064ee99555.jpg And a fitment test: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2925/...df60300901.jpg Now all I have to do is find the thing, now that I know the probable part numbers. |

Most cities have at least one depot that resells useable fixtures salvaged from demolished houses.

If you can't replace it, I'd carefully use epoxy as others suggest. My wife's always putting doilies. sea shells, etc on top of ours and no one would notice an imperfect job. |
