Mikek, you need to get the info off of the motor tag to see what machine the motor is out of. The JD 420's also used a B48G also.
Onan's are great motors but can have some problems and some parts are expensive.

The Onan from the Wheelhorse is a good engine - but....

If the engine has been overheated and the valve seats get loose, they are almost impossible to put back in place and stay there. Most of the folks I know who have Wheelhorse tractors with the Onans consider them toast if the valve seats let go.

I've got two Wheelhorse tractors with the Onan, both are 20 hp and they have a unique sound that is wonderful. They are smooth and powerful - but they also drink a goodly bit of gas too. Parts are available, but expensive.

Good luck,
Bill

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.
