engine swapping

OK Guys;

Another odd question, will the engine from a 100 or a 102 be a bolt in swap into a Cub Cadet Original.

Now feel free to tell be all about.

Yes, you will have to drill a hole for the drain plug and also either drill the thread out or take the welded on motor nuts that are on the uderside of the frame off.. I have one mounted in my CCO

I remember seeing your O' when I joined here, very nice and I think I'm gonna have to do that too someday:biggrin2.gif:

JayBrd,

Very nice looking Original.

Where did you mount your fuel tank?

I enjoy the pics of your Original, Jay!

Good call, YS I spaced mentioning that!

cadetfarmer, You're going to have to do that also. It is going to be VERY tight but it does work..
Basically I picked up another CCO tank mount and some strip stock. I tried to not modify any of the original parts so it would hold being complete as possible for the K161 when it is re-built. Here you go, this should give a pretty good idea. It uses the VR existing holes in the battery box. You will (should) either mod or fab up a new battery hold down strap also.










Sorry to load your thread up with pics, but they are the best answer I can give :biggrin2.gif:

great job, most of the time pics are better than words!

Gazoriginal;

Nice pics, they tell me everything I needed to know. I haven't bought the Original yet. It is about an hour drive from me, and in a very safe place, where it won't be found unless you know the man who owns it (who is a good freind of mine). I want to find out how much of it is still there before I try to buy it.

Thanks again;

Bill,
As far as I'm concerned, you can have all the Originals in Missouri - I'll take the wide frames (especially the 82 series).

Jay, that's some awesome workmanship!
