Default Can't find thread - Kohler M18s that can Swap with KT17s?
Somewhere I had read a thread that included the necessary information about what Kohler Magnum 18s were direct swaps for the KT17 Series 1's. However, I can't seem to find it and I forgot to bookmark it. I have a 682 with a KT17 series 1 that is running for now, but I just found a gouged cylinder while giving her a thorough once-over (just purchased tractor a few weeks ago). It actually runs very well, so my plan is to just keep checking the oil...and run her till she pops. I have a hilly lot, so we'll see if the myth is true. I'm also consider ing the Vanguard 18 for a repower, but if I can find a magnum 18 in good shape for a bargain price I might go that route.

Does anyone have this information relating to the Magnum 18's?

All I have found so far is spec number 24506 should be a direct swap, minus wiring changes. Should be looking for a 1 1/8 output shaft for the PTO...

YUP.....If you have that Cub Cadet Spec'd M-18, it will be a direct fit. There will be a minor wiring modification for the Ignition System.

Default M18 replacement for KT17
Hi, can you tell me or show me where the wiring changes are for a KT17 to M18 replacement? I'm doing this in a 782 and trying to figure out the best way to do this. Thank you

Roland will provide you with a schematic but in a nutshell you will just need to change the way you stop the motor by grounding the magneto, presently you remove power to the coil, very simple change the rest is a bolt in on a M18.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
