Default How much does a non-original engine take away from the value?

I found a 70 for sale with a replacement Kohler engine. It's the correct model, black and has the dipstick below the carb iirc. How much does this actually take away from the collector value? If I buy it, it really wouldn't be to use much. More just to fix up and take to shows. It's a great little machine with no problems that I noticed.
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it myself, as long as it runs good that's all I care about. If your going to restore it for show you can paint the engine yellow and 99% of people wouldn't even notice.

^^What olds said.^^

Besides, even if it did matter to other people, what's it matter to you? It's your machine, so as long as you like it, that's what counts.

Unless your selling to a die hard collector, and asking extreme top dollar...... It doesn't change the price one bit. Now if its not the correct engine, that's different.

So, is there a difference between an originally equipped Cub with a Kohler and a replacement Kohler, besides the black or yellow paint?

Good! His dipstick comment threw me off. My 127 has it's dipstick somewhat below the carb like he mentioned, but my 122 had its dipstick on the "passenger" side of the engine and up high near the top of the head.

My comment was based on the authorized Factory Replacement engine. Installing any basic model of Kohler (per HP range) may not keep the original value.

I thought anything above a 8 hp had a tube on the right side, newer 10 + motors on the cam cover,no cam cover on a 7hp,8hp.
maybe you have a 10hp?

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.
