You and I are actually in complete agreement. The KT series 2 and the Mag's are very good. I would want to know how many hours it has on it. If it's under 500 I'd do it in a NY minute. Up around 1000 I'd think about going inside and replacing the rods and gov gear before it fails then you have something that you know. Aluminum rears are not an issue, just stick a set of rear-end braces from Xtreme on them and forget about it. If you want to re-power it keep your eye out for any of the following Cub 2160, 2164, 2165, 2185 they make great organ donors. Hope this is of some help.
I totally agree on this. I know the KT and Mag's are expensive motors to fix, but I just never saw that the "V" engines made the torque the H-opposed did. When I ran dad's 1864 right next to the 1811 the V would drop RPM where mine wouldn't. I dunno, maybe it was a bad test. His engine didn't have the hours mine does, but maybe needed tuning. Just my I just really wish they still offered a H-opposed engine, regardless of make. IMHO, they are just a better motor. Not a big fan of the OHV V motors.

Anyway, to the OP: Where are you in Illinois? I'm assuming near Chicago..... seems like Spudder and I are the only "southern" Illinois members. Can't go wrong with a 82 series. 782 with the hydraulic lift is better, but the 6 is a good tractor. Pretty comparable to the 1250, just more HP and a little smoother running. Other than that, pretty similar. Aluminum rear isn't a issue.

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.
