replacement engine for 125
 
Has anyone ever replaced the kohler 12 hp engine with larger?
Gas or diesel, how much trouble or work?

It's been done. At one time or another Everything has been done to these Cubs! However, your 125 is a Narrow Frame Cub and to even replace the 12hp Kohler with a 14hp Kohler, you'd have to relieve the frame to accept the larger flywheel on the 14hp. My humble opinion is that if your 125 doesn't have enough power to do what you want it's time to either rebuild the engine or find a 149 that you can buy. :American Flag 1:

Cricket: Aroostook may be a relatively new poster, but his advice is dead-on correct. I recommend you heed his advice.

I've actually seen these with V-8 engines on them. It was most likely a wide frame though. Can't remember.

if anything, put an ad in craigslist for a swap of machines. somone may be looking to downsize from a 14 or 16 hp machine. just an idea

Can't you put a 12 horse flywheel and tin on a 14 horse. Thought I remember someone talking about that
