Default K181 recoil start in an Original drive belt question.

I might be trading for a nice K 181 , and my O needs a Kohler instead of the backwards snowblower engine it has.. This Kohler has a rope start, and when you look at the flywheel side of the motor it almost looks like one could pull the rope start off, slip a belt on, and bolt the rope start back on, as long as it was a fairly narrow belt.. Is the recoil cup the same on the Original as on a standard 181 recoil start engine? or did it have a vee belt pulley built in?

SUre would be nice to have three forward speeds again.... ( I realize I could swap the carrier over but as long as I have a KOHLER......)

This is how IH did the recoil start. It has to be this way since the drive shaft is driven of the flywheel side of the motor.

I think the Original had a different recoil start than that. In fact, I believe it was on the flywheel end in the 'usual' place, but with one mounting leg removable so that the belt could be changed. But I don't actually own one, so I can't say for sure.

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.
