Cub Cadet Repower?
 

Has anyone tried one of these engines in their cub? http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/...tegory=1709753

besides looking like crap its kinda pricey, i can rebuild the original engine for less than that provided there was no major failure.

I haven't.

Why? I'll sell you a rebuilt "K" series for $675 plus shipping. Why wouldn't you go with Kohler?

I guess since I'm still learning about engines and how to rebuild them, other options might be go to know about. Though I didn't know I could get one rebuilt by someone for that price range. So you feel that a rebuilt kohler is still a better choice then a new engine with no hours on it? Does this engine offer anything over the stock?

i would go with a rebuilt kohler hands down. the motor you linked will look terrible in a cub not to mention you'll have to get creative with the wiring harness to make it work.

Oh, interesting on the electric. I thought that would be plug and play but no luck huh.

nope, it will require cutting and splicing the factory wiring harness to get it to start and charge.

hands down with the kohler,tecumseh was not meant to be in a cub cadet

Guess sticking with a kohler is the way to go.

I agree with everyone else. You would never be happy and it would look like crap in a 102. Plus you will spend more money and the Kohler is better. No reason not to rebuild it.
