Default 2182 alternator conversion
The alternator on my 2182 is out. I was thinking of building a bracket of some sort and putting a full sized alt from a small car on there. I know I would have to get a bigger belt and could no longer use the side panel.

Has anyone ever done a conversion like this?

I would like to eventually do this conversion though.

I just did this on my 1782. It worked great and had room to spare. I'll try to post a short description with pics later this weekend.

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.
