Cheap Cub 149 with no engine - repower?
Just wondering.... I might have a chance to pick up an intact 149 with no engine really really cheap. Other than obvious wiring and mounting modifications, and probably drive shaft mods, and custom gas tank, I have a Kohler CH18 sitting idle. Has anyone re powered one of these with a Kohler Command? I tried getting a vanguard into my Jacobsen once and while it mounted and worked I had issues with getting a gas tank under the hood and matching up with the hole. That hold bolts down so it's not feasible to put a gas tank anywhere else under that hood because I would have to unbolt the hood to get to it. The 149 doesn't have a hole for a gas cap and a flip up hood so I think there might be a little more freedom to customize under there. I'm just wondering if this has been done. I've seen some threads talking about possibilities but none actually done.

I have a 1641 frame out back... maybe the 149 dash tower, hood, etc will fit the 1641 frame with some customizations, and be an easier conversion than modding the 149 frame? Then I would still have a rear gas tank and that would take care of that issue as well

If you decide to try and cobble together a Command engine, a 1641 frame and a 149 carcass please play Johnny Cash's song.."I Got It One Piece At A Time". LOL! Personally, I would search for a 782 with a junk KT and repower it with the CH 18. It may be less work and aggravation.

Lol! One piece at a time and it didn't cost me a dime. For some reason I'm attracted to projects that can't be done or are harder than most people would attempt. I think this one is a bit out of reach though, plus I have to drive two hours each way to get the tractor Thanks for the advice.

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.
