Why another tractor...says the wife.
Hello, I'm not only new to this forum but I've not engaged in any of this type program, so please give me a chance.
I've had a 1420 for 11 years and I've grown somewhat attached to it for it's never let me down. I've enjoyed making the normal repairs and tweaks along the way. Unfortunately changing the oil and filter regularly wasn't one of them so the engine is seized. I have my eye on a 1730 on CL that has a bad hydro. I have a question. If I buy the 1730 is it easier to put the good motor in my 1420 or the 1420 rear end in the 1730? Both frames, bodies are in great shape. The wife owned a newer Toro tractor before I meet her that runs great. So why do we need another tractor? What she doesn't understand is it's not a Cub and I can't pass up on the 1730 deal for it comes with a mint 46" deck and a real nice 3 bag bagger. Thanks for the site, I've really enjoyed what I've read so far. Looking forward to your thoughts.

First, Welcome to OCC.
 The 1420 originally had a Kohler MV16S-56509 engine in it. The 1730 originally had a Koler MV18S-58520 engine in it. You will have to do a little research to see if the "footprint" is the same. On the surface it maybe the same engine, except for "bore and/or stroke"

Welcome
For some, like me, its the challenge of making it work. Welcome to the site. There's a WEALTH of information here, and it's just amazing what I've learned while looking for what I needed. And the entertainment ain't bad either!

If you have those skills and the tools yes you can make it work. Both use the same rear end part #717-3048 Frame part numbers 1730 S/N 207,401 - 239,300 #703-1550A 1420 S/N 126,001 - 147,087 #703-1585 1420 S/N 147,088 - 207,400 #703-1550A So depending on your serial number the rear end should be a direct swap.  I've moved your post to the MTD/CCC LT section.

So there is a happy ending....after taking off the metal around the top of the motor to expose the starter I found a mouse nest had gotten jammed in the starter/flywheel gears jamming it all up. I lowered the starter cleared the debris re-assembled and it runs perfect!!

Glad you got it running. I hate mice. For some reason they love blower housings. Nasty little creatures.

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.
