Okay figured I'd check. the picture did a great job highlighting exactly where mine was cobbled so thank you for posting! I figured I'd ask before I overlook something else

You may have the wrong carburetor OR someone may have installed a different flywheel and sheet metal from a Kohler AQS meant for the Quietline series 1450. Is so well you need a different carb to make what you work or find the correct engine for your tractor.

Just measured my carb and it is 3" deep.
So the three holes lined up and you screwed the back half of air cleaner on?

WAIT A MINUTE! That's right! I'm having a senior moment. I put an aftermarket carburetor on mine and had to grind some stock off of the tab on the throttle shaft for clearance. I bet that is what's happening. Make sense?

Thanks for the trouble, this helps me a lot.

Okay, the way I read this; lets assume there is a different engine hiding under all the 1450 tin. Which seems plausible with the cobblery we have already discussed.

If so, I don't think ill be replacing the engine until I have issues with it or find a donor. I have no use for this engine, nor one to put in it at the moment

Are there any other options than what I have thought of here?:
  1. Put on an air cleaner from on older model. Then I loose the air damn (idk what to call it) Is this critical?
  2. Build a spacer and utilize this carb and bump out the air cleaner a bit.
  3. Do some trimming on the two items pointed out by the pen in pics.
  4. Put a quiet line carb on this engine, regardless even with the carb off the engine the air filter will not work with the throttle linkage how it it currently together.

Possibly this winter ill take off all the tin again and try to identify what I have going under there.

I like that solution a lot and it makes a lot of sense.

I realize that this isn't going to be the factory set up, for the time being. Is there any gain to switching over to the new governor spring set up if in fact this is an older motor under the tin. Are there any benefits to the longer spring, other than factory appeal?

I need to start looking into on how to identify the block once I take things apart at a later time.

DeltaCub and many others are way more knowledgeable than I am. I just wanted to point out that I had a similar problem. Look for the ID number. If you have the correct engine, then, if it was me, I would get it back to the way it should be. Just my opinion. i hope others can help you out more.

Just took off the carb and measured the bore of the inner side. It was a hair over 26 mm

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.
