Default crankshaft differences
Will the engine out of a john deere K341AQS ( 16 hp ) work in a cub cadet 1450 with a K321 AQS ( 14 hp )? Im not sure what model of john deere it came out of, Ive heard the pto ends of the crankshafts are different sizes. Is this true? Thanks for any help! Wally

Each Kohler motor has a Specification Number (or Spec). This is basically the engineering changes to the basic model to meet various manufacturer's needs.

YES, it is true that the JD crankshaft is different from the Cub Cadet version of the K-321AQS.

It is always prudent, when replacing motors on a Cub Cadet, to get a motor that was "spec'd" for a Cub. This way you will have less hassles trying to make something work or fit.

Default JD 341 engine
If that engine came out of a 216 or a 316, it will have the extra mounting bosses on the block (my brother has his 216 torn down for refresh). These bosses are cast on the block and because the JD mounts the engine side-ways, the block won't fit in a Cub's chassis without modifying it. So even if you change cranks, there's that to deal with. My thoughts are to trade for the proper engine and save yourself a lot of frustration. Just my

FFGino. Happy Cubbing!!

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.
