I would look into their 10hp model for it. It should be a straight shot, besides the mounting plate.

I believe I am the first to convert a 1961 Cub to diesel. Here she is, running and driving! It is surprisingly easy to pull-start using the original cup, and runs like a champ! I just need to hook up the throttle, and get the electrical system built. I may just end up cutting up my hood, as it is pretty rusted out in the front. Such a smooth engine... at idle, it makes the front end do a little dance! I'll have to get a video of it tomorrow.

COOL! Hope you post more on the repower. Just my 2 cents but if the fuel tank location is the big issue you may want to relocate it an put an electric pump on it.

I'll either have to fab another mount, or just make a cut-out in the hood, which at this point is a viable option. The same would have to happen for the muffler.

The engine has 2 fuel pumps on it already so that isn't the issue. I just don't know where a good location is to put it, so I think I may just cut out this nasty hood until I really decide I want to make it look nice.

What about making a bracket to fit the tank between the grille and engine. Them make a exhaust to clear the hood. Maybe a stack since it is a diesel after all

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.
