It was a fun project .... nothing was cut or bent to fit so with about 3-4 hrs time the original K series could be droped back in without to much hassel.
With the 28 lbs/ft of torque this engine generates it pulls like no tomorrow.

I was just joking with you.....There your cubs, so have as much fun as you want. It's not like you are butchering them up or anything like that....and even if you did, that's your perogative!

I think your repowered cub looks great, good work! I am considering making a tractor out of a hodge podge of different models and repowering it. I bought a 6.5 hp motor at harbor freight for the boys go kart, it is a predator brand engine, well they also have a 13 hp complete with electric start for less than $350...I am sure you could catch it on sale for much less than that. I am really impressed with one I put on the go kart, but really haven't compared the 13 to a kohler to see if it is feasible or not. The owners manual for the 6.5 also has all the specs for the 13, all I would need to do is measure/ compare it to a kohler. The predator engines are not a Honda clone, but are very similar to a Honda, the go kart should be a good test for it's durability.

Default 1450 / v-twin
tubbyfirefighter , its hard mounted to bottm of frame rail flanges, needed to raise it 1.25 inches to have the drive shaft level and also to allow the oil filter to clear the frame rail. Even tho its hard mounted its very smooth due to the v-twin design.

looking at this.....i have to wonder if there's much difference in the room in a 1250, 1450 wide frame and a 149. it looks like with a little work this could be done to a 149 too. i don't ave a 1250, or a 1450 to compare to my 149, so i would welcome comment. nice swap. looks excellent. no sin there. bet you use less fuel, run smoother, and have tons more torque.

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.
