K241 drop in fit to an Original?
Hello expert CC folk. Been a while since I've needed some support. My Original mows the lake property every year. Sadly, last Sept one of my last mows, the engine seized. It will not move.
Now, I could and should tear down and rebuild with a new piston, rings, hone, etc, but I didn't have time until now. Not sure what seized. It had good fresh oil in, but I was cutting a high bermuda run. Yesterday, a K241 10HP in good compression fell in my lap for $75. It comes complete with the starter/gen, wiring, carb, pulleys, muff, even air cleaner. The kid selling it said it was on the shelf in his dad's garage for ages. He thinks it came out of a 107? Anyway, I grabbed it up. Now, of course we get to the nuts of the matter. Is this a drop in replace of my 7HP Original engine? My SN is around 18,000 don't know the exact number. Any help is much appreciated. Belt pulley size? Wiring change? Bolt flange? I'll be mowing this spring again, and want to keep the Original out there earning its keep.

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.
