I believe cubs-n-bxrs, is right, a Cub Cadet oil pan looks like it will bolt right on.

ok, now i got the oil pan. now i am worried about the spline thats on the crank shaft end. lord only knows how much work THATS gonna be. but i'll keep you posted!!! jeff

Jeff if you are referring to the spline on the flywheel side looks to me like it will unbolt and you can bolt on the correct three pin drive plate.

Hey, have you unbolted the pan on that ferguson engine yet? I believe that you'll be in for a big, BIG, surprise. The Cub Cadet pan won't bolt up. That's a wide-base engine and the Cub's engine is a narrow-base. Like trying to bolt a Ford oil pan on a Chevy. The PTO shaft ends are different diameters and maybe lengths also. I think you are looking at a migraine-sized headache here. Not trying to be a nay-sayer, just that some things are more work than they are worth in the end. 'Nough said.

Happy Cubbing, FFGino.

the motor had weird looking mounts (look in my thread he shoot, he scores!!!!). they bolted to the motor BLOCK not the pan. the pan on the 12 bolted up in the cub with NO modifications, other than i had to take the original grill out so the QL would exhaust out the front. i did not want to cut it, as i plan on adding a stack later on. this engine is almost the exact identical to the one in my 77 1200. the guy who i got the motor from even showed me a picture of the MF, but there wasn't any way to tell how it bolted in the MF frame. i can tell you that the kohler out lasted the MF tractor. also not to keep but the 12hp kohler in my dads economy powerking is real close to being identical also other than the PK has a very deep oil pan unlike the cub oil pan! sorry, i learn more everyday from this bunch telling me to "just get out and do it!" jeff

If you put a narrow pan on this wide pan engine you might want to check here to make sure the blocks not milled out most are for a dip stick.

I see it don't have a plug for a fill tube so it might not be milled out.

hard for me to bleive you bolted a narrow pan to a wide pan without mods but I have never had a pan off a MF

From his pictures, it appears the engine originally had the 'A' style pan on it, so he wouldn't have had to change anything.

yes matt, it does have an "a" pan, like in the 301 AQS. jeff
