Been a while, need advice on a idea.
Hello all, its been awhile since I've been on here, too busy working on other IH projects and farming!!!.
I have a 25hp Briggs and Stratton vertical shaft engine out of a newer plastic junk cub cadet that is basically scrap now. The engine is in great shape and I wonder if I could do a cool re-power in a Cub Cadet!!! I have three Cub Cadet that could be recipients of this motor. They are a 107, 1200, and a 1711. I wonder if I could run a belt from the engine to a 90 degree gearbox that would be attached to the tranny input shaft. I think this might work but I'd like advice on how to accomplish this. Id like to spend as little money on this as possible while doing it right. Thanks for any input!

The only reason Id like to do this is because I already have this engine and I'd hate to scrap a good motor...

I'd hate to see a tractor modified for that.....
Go find you a regular old run-of-mill mower with a bad motor. You can pick them up for $50. Put the motor in it, sell it, then take the money and go buy a K series and put that back in. Then you don't scrap a motor, and you get a cub up and running the right way.  Where you at in Illinois?

Get a CC lawn tractor, easy swap being belt drive, imagine a 25hp 76 or a 1330 swapped (but I'd go gear drive not hydro) or even better an IH rear engine rider modified to fit the big twin

I think you could do it with very little permanent mods. So if you have the time...

Good to read from you again! I have seen much of your work, and it is very neat!
I would think what you would be doing is having a set up similar to what is fount on the IH Cub Cadet 1100, and 582 Special..... only using the input shaft as you mention. You might have to cut out and weld the narrow frame tractor a bit. I think the wide frame 1200 would be a good bet. Power transfer with a IH 90* gear box to the input shaft. This would be neat to see the out come of such a re-power! If anybody on this forum can do anything, it would be you! Good luck!

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.
