Finally the weather has broke and i made a lot of progress. the old Kolher is out and the clutch has been refitted to the new engine anf from the looks and measurements it will be a direct fit. except i have to notch the frame for the oil tubes.

Why are you replacing the engine there are plenty of the Kohler engines around, alive and still kickin'? Wish that you was closer, I have a 72 frame that is already cut on--hate to see original parts cut up and you may want to think twice about those Spirit of 76 fenders---I would think that there would be a good market for them just as they are!

Default Dear purists
Ya'll with tons of money, worry bout restoring to original splender a cub of the 60's ! we are trying to build a working machine to do the work-a-day jobs at the young man's home ! the 7hp quit, last fall,we will save the 7hp/gas tank/ complete ,for my stock 73,that has a ten hp. in it now, can the make it pure for ya'll ! the condition of the tank is also suspect, the increase in horsepower is to help on the steep hill he must mow ! ( for U flat landers) besides I rescue cubs, ( this one from yo beloved Ind. ) I've rescued and owned as high as 36 or so tractors, in six short years , the young man works bea coup hrs. his wife also. he doesn't need to wait! spring time upstate NY don't last long gras don't wait !! also both are hard at work turning the older house they bought into a home ! fear not as in the long run it's a win win for us !

Tell us more about the engine. What brand, horse power, is it electric start, gasoline? I repowered a belt drive Ford (Jacobsen) with a harbor freight chinese clone, and I love it.

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.
