Cub 2284 Kohler CH23 Swap???
Hi guys,
My Cub 2284 is a great tractor and I love these Supers/Cyclops tractors. Mine has a 60" Haban deck that I mow with and sometimes it seems like the engine doesn't have as much power as my 2072 when running the same 60" Haban deck.
I thought, since I have a brand new Kohler CH23 (which has quite a bit more displacement than the CH22), I'd swap it in my 2284. Well it's not that easy because of one big problem. The CH23 has a 1-1/8" shaft and the CH22 has a 1" shaft. Please give me your advice as to what direction I should go on this.
If I put the CH23 in, along with a GT2550 electric PTO (that I have sitting around) to fit the 1-1/8" shaft, will everything be fine? The pulleys on the electric PTO shaft for both tractors is 6" in diameter, so I should be fine in that respect. I'm pretty sure that the clutches are slightly different, but I don't know if this swap would work or not, but if you guys could give me some pointers, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
