Default 18HP Command into 1872 or 682?

Got a lead on a 18HP Command engine. Worth swapping into a 682 (Or maybe into 1872)? Any special/custom parts required?
Thanks

Default Muffler

You'll need a muffler and heatshield from an 1863 ,1864, or 2084.

I'm into this swap right now actually. It's not a bad transplant. I put a CH18S from a 2185 into a 682 (kind of). It's a 1641 frame I'm using with some other stuff, but it's the same frame as the 682. You do need to make some wiring changes to account for the differences in ignition systems. You will also need to drill new holes in the mounting plate for your 682 to mount the engine, or you could get one from a cyclops tractor and mount it right up. You'll have to modify the driveshaft also. Here's my thread on it, but again, I'm doing more than just an engine swap.

Any advantage to putting the Command engine in the 1872? 18hp magnum is in it, burns a little oil & I dont think the governor works properly, but other than that runs good.

Will the PTO from either the 18hp or 17hp magnum fit on the Command engine?

Anyone have spare heat shield & muffler from donor tractors mentioned above for sale?

Any advantage is in the eye of the beholder. Both are rated 18HP. I did the swap from a Kohler Series II 18 to CH18 because I already had the CH18.

The CH18 heat shields aren't easy to find, in my experience. One happened to pop up on eBay right when I needed one, but I didn't see many listed in the past that were either sold or ended. You might find something from a salvage yard.

As far as the PTO, I think it's the same and will fit. I'm sure this has been posted before in the forum somewhere. I have the bigger pulleyed PTO clutch on mine that was in the 2185 because I put a cyclops front axle under it so I can use my GT decks on it, which take the bigger pulley.

Picked it up last night. Sorry no pics yet.

Then I go to mow grass with my 1872 & the end comes off the muffler. Always something.

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.
