That motor could have come out of nearly anything, a pump, generator, or tractor, literally anything. If the crank is 1 1/8" a pto from a Cub Cadet won't fit on it. The oil pan is too thick (tall) causing the crank to not line up with the drive shaft. It may be possible to bolt this motor directly to the frame of a Quiet Line but you're gonna have to measure the height of the crankshaft with the height of the driveshaft for yourself, without knowing exactly what that motor was made for, no one can tell you what the exact distance is between the bottom of the pan and the center of the crank therefore you don't know if the crank and the driveshaft will line up properly.
I did undertake a similar project one time, I had a brand new wide pan Kohler motor that I wanted to put into a Cub Cadet. I took the pan and milled the top of it off to the same thickness as a Cub Cadet pan (which made the top of the pan about half way in the middle of the drain plug on the side, then drilled and threaded a new drain plug hole in the bottom of the pan, I also had to cut off the dipper on the rod cap, so it didn't hit the bottom of the pan. Then I had to drill new holes in the frame of the Cub to mount the motor. I also had to manufacture a dipstick tube that would fit the opening in the block yet seal properly around the rubber on the dipstick. It was a lot of work but the project came out alright and I was fortunate to not end up with any oil leaks. It was a fun project but not one that I would really want to do again.
