I am not familiar with the B&S Vanguard in a dimensional way, that meaning physical sizes and what not.
But if it were me thinking about it, my first concern would be, is the crankshaft going to line up in a direct line with the drive shaft? If not, you are going to have to consider how to re-mount the engine or come up with some type of flex coupling to the clutch. If you get that far, are you going to need a PTO and will it align with the Cub mule pulleys. An then the wireing will all have to be all redone . I would take this on more with the attitude of more of a fun project rather than improving the mousetrap.

That's kind of my mindset. I have this BS engine in now perfect condition, just sitting here and I thought it would be fun to swap it into a narrow frame.
Pretty much everything lines up from what I can see so just going to have fun with it. I know I'll have to re-wire everything but that's not that difficult. I know a lot of people think I'm nuts for even thinking this, maybe I am but it just would be a fun project for me. I'm actually thinking I would like to put this an a 126 with a 48" deck which would make it a very good running machine. I'm a Cub Cadet fan for sure and I appreciate all the comments from the group. Thanks

Not to try and turn you down or anything, but I'm just going to make a suggestion. Personally I would only go about doing something like this with a hydrostatic machine because if working with a manual, you have to figure out how to mount the clutch to the engine. IMHO it would be easier to just make/buy an adapter for a drive hub for the hydro driveshaft than to try and figure out how to mount a clutch drive plate to it. That being said,
I'm sure it can be done. I'm interested to see how this project turns out

Yes I agree the Kohler is a great engine and I have mowed a lot of grass back when I was a young boy at my Grandfathers place with a 100.
I just picked up this 100 and it feels a little weak compared to what I was used to. I think it needs new rings and I may just rebuild it and leave well enough alone. An 18 HP would be a bit much given the traction issues but I do have wheel weights. I just have this newly rebuilt 18 HP sitting here and I would like to use it. I'm thinking if I had a 126 with an 48" deck then this 18 HP would be a very nice swap I'm looking at the 126 today so we'll see.... Thanks everyone for your input.

Actually this 18 HP engine came out of a hydro 3185 which I re-powered with a 20 HP bs engine.
I did see a 107 hydro for sale and that would be a nice candidate as I know from past experience that a 10 HP in a hydro is way under-powered. Maybe I'll have a look at that.

If that 10 hp was way under powered, then something was wrong with it.... Unless you were cutting way overgrown grass.
I'd save that vanguard for the proper tractor.

 As a proud 106 owner I am incredibly disappointed! No need for a larger engine as the 10 horse Kohler is plenty of power already! If your set on putting a V-twin in a Cub at least use a wide frame so you don't have to cut it up so much! Or just don't do it at 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.
