Default Kohler engine question
I'm going to check out a CC with a 10HP which I think is the K241 engine, and has a black replacement engine. For a typical tractor which is not going to be a restored collector's item, etc., does a replacement engine help or hurt the value, or neither?

I'm planning on getting the serial number to see what year the engine is. Does anyone know if certain year engines are more or less desirable / valuable, or any particular year where quality control or componets could have gone downhill?

Are there any other concerns or things I should check out on a CC with a replacement engine? Going to be my first CC, and tryin to cover all the bases.

The K series Kohler motors are a very strong motor. Cub Cadet and other GT Manufactures used millions of them.

The replacement K Series motor would have NO difference in quality as compared to the OEM.

Jump in get your Cub.

Thanks, good to know. I suppose it wouldn't be a big deal to paint it yellow if it ever gets torn down for rebuild.

Would be the first thing I would do if I took it out.

I'm torn on painting or leaving it black I have 2 replacement engines, one in the 124 and the 147. Also have a NOS K181 that is black. The NOS is gonna stay that way I think, the others will probably get some yellow. Good luck Josh and we look forward to pics if ya get 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.
