Question Single to twin?
The 14hp Kohler in my 1450 is in pretty bad shape. Burns a lot of oil when using the choke and makes one of those hair raising noises when it runs. And I'm getting sick of it shacking the fillings out of my teeth. Too bad because it starts easy and runs nice. SOOOO has anyone ever installed a Kohler Magnum 17 hp. in one of these? is it a big job? I happen to have a good Magnum and might as well use it.
Thanks

I believe you're going to have cylinder clearing issues, unless you cut on the frame. The 1450 is a wide frame, you would need a spread frame like the 82 series.

You'd have to put some pretty radical notches into the frame to make it fit, which would weaken it a lot. How about this: sell the extra engine, and use the proceeds to rebuild your current engine.

Thumbs up
I would sell it but I'm picking up a Simplicity 7117 with the same engine in it so I would like to keep it around. I just reinstalled the Grill and Hood assy. and I don't know why but the tractor seems to vibrate a lot less. Used it today to do some tilling and I could actually read the amp meter and the PTO switch didn't turn it's self off once. Who knows, I might actually get used to this tractor. I would guess the engine will last till this fall. Thanks for the input about installing the twin. It really is appreciated!

This tractor has been abused in it's life and I'm surprised it moved under it's own power when I purchased it. None of this was IHC's fault as most of the repairs were not done correctly by the previous owners.

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.
