Default Cub Cadet 682 KT-17 which engine?
Hey guys, I have a 682 kt-17--of course, and have had it for years. How can I tell if it a series I or series II engine. I never could find the plate on the left side where it should be. Are there any other obvious characteristics that will tell me?

Thanks, I've been off the site for a couple years but now I want to fix it back up.

The series 2 has an oil filter, the series 1 does not.

Not true. I have a KT-17 Series II that has NO oil filter, right from the factory.

IF...everything is original, you can go by Chassis Serial Number of the tractor:

Series I #669971 to 726124
Series II #726125 & above

First off Welcome to OCC!
The series 1's did not have the block off plate on the block to hook up the oil lines. As Roland said the early series 2's did not have an oil filter but I thought still had the block off plate but don't remember for sure. I will have to look at some of mine to see.

On my Series II, there was no "block off" plate nor a provision for one.

I never have found a Kohler Reasoning to why some Series II had on oil filter and some did not. My "speculation" is, that is was buried into the "Specification" of the engine as to the buyer's requirements.

Yeah, I think you are right Roland. I have seen some series 2's with no block off plate provision.
Another thing to maybe look at is the oil fill. All the series 1's I have seen have had the square cap and all the series 2's I have seen have had the round filler cap. Not sure it's a proven fact but it is a usually a good place to look.

All the Series 1 i have seen had a pipe plug for the oil fill , and the Series 2 had a straight or angled pipe with a cap for the oil fill , if no one has changed it in it's life.

I have also seen them with/without the block-off plate.

Sorry to jump onto someone else's topic, but were any of the MTD built 6/782s series I's? Reason I ask is I found a white/yellow 782 close but I couldn't see a block off plate through the grill.

Just as was discussed above, some Series II had a block off plate, some didn't.

I was asking if series IIs started before MTD began production, (as in all MTD built units were built with series IIs) or at least that's what I meant. I was trying to figure out if it may have had an engine swap.

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.
