Could you convert an aqs (QL) K341 to use a starter generator? replace the flywheel, and add the starter pulley/clutch basket and mount a S/G. Might have to drill and tap the block for the S/G bracket.

You'd lose the PTO in the process...But if that didn't matter...

Is this possible? Would the engine (oil pan) mounting holes from an AQS line up with a NF's frame holes?

It would probably be easier to modify the NF's frame to accommodate the bigger flywheel...

AQS blocks are the same. Now, on a 16, they use the side dipstick which will get in the way. You can use the cam cover with a dipstick and get around that issue, or machine a hole in the block for the dipstick tube on the (machines's) RH side. S/G bracket bolts up to where the starter bolts on the AQS motor, no mods necessary. Oil pans are interchangeable. No lost PTO the mechanical will bolt on. This really isn't a difficult thing.

Thanks, Jonathan. I didn't realize the starter mounting holes were the same, but that makes sense. Is the PTO end of the crankshaft on an AQS long enough for the S/G pulley/clutch basket and mechanical clutch? I never compared the two...

I have a silly question. Does the aqs have a different shroud to accommodate the flywheel, or is that the same?

Ian,
Are you talking about the flywheel shrouding? If so, yes it is different. Has a bump out to accommodate the starter.

The AQS flywheel shroud is larger than the older ones to accommodate the ring gear on the flywheel. Yes, it also has the starter cut-out.

Nice thing about the AQS engines is they all use the same flywheel and shrouding from the 10-16hp. 8hp (800) was different.

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.
