Quietline repower
Has anyone done a quietline repower that keeps the tins and ideally the front pto?

What are you thinking in terms of a repower, a twin cylinder or something else?
Sounds like an interesting thread. Good luck, Bill

Not a single cyl. Something 25 hp or less to stay within the hydro design limit.

i am also interested in doing the same thing. I'm building a quietline to be on snow thrower duty and the extra hp could be handy once in a while.

I am wanting to use mine as a mini tractor, and I know I have a rebuild coming up (pretty severe oil leak/ oil burning) I am just looking to see if anyone has done any of the legwork I would have to if I were to repower with more power. Probably the biggest reason for wanting a repower is to kill as much of the vibration as possible.

Just my 2 cents. Seems a guy could do all of the noise isolation and get a good rebuild for a whole lot less bread than stuffing a non stock engine into a Quietline. I would think it would be tough to find a V-twin that would fit in the engine bay with side panels as is. That series of tractors was designed with a Kohler single in mind. Just think of the Cub Cadets that proceeded the Quietlines. Any of the twins had a larger hood and engine bay.
I do not know if this is even a consideration but, a K-361 is an 18hp single that would fit with minor hood modification at most if the overhead valves stick up too high. Get a new set of Iso Mounts and a good K-361 and you would have something. My 1450 was a rattler when I bought it. After some casual and enjoyable fiddling it purrs now.

I dont feel that the k-341 makes too much noise, I like the look of the quietline with the side panels on. I like stock stuff, but I also like things nicely modified with a "factory" appearance. In this case, I would ideally like the look of the quietline but with 20+hp, and starting with less vibration than the k series. I replaced the iso mounts and did the cradle mod on my 1650 and it made a tremendous difference from how i received it, but the engine now needs a rebuild. I am exploring options and kicking tires. just want to see if someone else has done it and how.

These guys sell a re-power kit but the side tins won't fit and the fuel tank is also an issue.

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.
