be interesting as I have the same engine and a 14hp version here.... mine are both the typical "wide base" block, not the Cub narrow base. never seen a narrow base Magnum.
mag ignition and gear starter, minor wiring change needed vs battery/ points ignition, that's least of worries.

I couldn't tell you anything about fitment, but the obvious is that the starting/charging system is altogether different so your old wiring ain't gonna work.

It's doable, as long as you have the right style oil pan, and right style flywheel for the drive shaft hub. If it's an engine from a Cub you should be fine there. You need to do a relay for the ignition since you're going from points ignition to magneto, so instead of applying power to the coil to run the engine, you need to ground the magneto to stop the engine. Do NOT apply power to the magneto or you'll fry it. You're also going from starter generator/giant voltage regulator to alternator under the flywheel and regulator on the side of the engine shroud. You'll just need to account for some wiring changes and everything else should transfer over. Oh, and the PTO will be a electronic clutch instead of manual.

Unless you want to get real exotic and put a manual clutch and starter generator on the mag...

I never had either, but I have a narrow base M12AQS that came out of a 1210.

huh. interesting. I haven't seen any Magnums with an AQS designation around here.
I did rebuild the M12 that I have, it had both sets of holes (and threaded) for wide or narrow pan.... if I could put the narrow pan on it, wonder if the wide base flange would interfere with anything? That flange would be stood off of the tractor frame, wonder it would be enough of a standoff to make it work?
I have another tractor here that I stripped for parts because it came to me w/o an engine, and here lately narrow base Kohlers have been scarce in my area... I still have enough parts to reassemble that tractor at the moment. and if one of these would fit, it would also solve my problem of not having an extra CCW rotation starter generator as the 1X9s took....


don't wanna take over the OP's post but hoping this helps them out too...…

This is not mine, it's a webfind... I'm not at home to take pictures of my engine. This is a straight narrow base engine, not a wide base block with narrow base pan. I am thinking about doing a similar swap by dropping my M12AQS into a 1250. Only I wouldn't be replacing a starter generator engine.

Thanks for the reply's guy's . Have a 109 that need's an engine , and a friend offered this Magnum 12 S , which is in a Wheel Horse 312-A ,which is supposed to run good , so thought I would see what the chance of it fitting was . Probably should have put this info in my first post / question . I think I will take it anyways , even if doesn't work in the Cub .

Pretty sure that's going to be a wide base engine, it won't fit.

As for the relay I have also clipped the power wire to the coil coming off of the ignition and used a toggle switch that one side of is grounded, and the kill switch wire from the Magnum to the other side of the toggle switch. Makes for a 2 step operation to start or kill the engine, but minor deal.
I have also swapped out the ignition switch for one meant for a magneto and run the (former) power wire to the M terminal on the coil // instead of the+terminal on the old engine's coil
There's ways around you wiring differences, not hard

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.
