does anyone know for sure if a kohler command stator is the same mount pattern and diameter as a k341?

might have to find out.

I have an off topic tractor that has a snow thrower and soft sided cab. I've spent several hours in it with no heater. I usually unzip my coat when I run the tractor with cab. You get the inside of the cab too warm and snow will turn to ice when it hits the wind shield.

Had that problem with big tractors/trucks.

I think I would just mount a large battery on the back and run the heater from it. Put it on a battery charger when it's not in use. It would also give you more weight on the back.

Or, option 3... man up! Take the cab off and wear layers. My snow fighter never has a problem with foggy cabs.

I'm in the same boat! I got the same idea, finding a 20 or 25A stator and regulator upgrade I could fit, now I wonder if we can rewire the original one in a way to produce more power.

For the moment the only cheap solution I found is using this ammo box to store a bigger deep cycle AGM battery in the back of the tractor.
Since you take more "Juice" then what the stator can provide, you need to plug the battery on a charger/maintainer after every use.
I wish someone come with a better idea

What about adding an oil heat? Plumb two lines from the oil pan, drain plug for "suction", another or maybe new port for return. Put a little radiator, maybe a vehicle heater core at the base of the windshield with a fan behind it. Then you would only need to power a fan and small oil pump.

Someone else will probably chime in and remind me that there's only 2 quarts of oil in the engine and the last thing you want to do is take oil from the pan....but it's not the worst idea for a Monday before coffee. Haha

Otherwise I agree a second battery mounted on the back, plugged into a charger when not in use is what I would do.

Make you a replacement lower grill panel with a 4" flex dryer ducting with an inline fan. Run duct back to your cab.

Hey it's not a bad idea bill! You give me another one

How about plumbing some copper line around the muffler and use Anti freeze instead of oil? A thermal switch can be use to start the fan and a thermostat on the radiator! This is a dam good coffee

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.
