Default Will the engine from a 128 fit in a 1250?

I've owned a Cub Cadet 1250 for 35 years and I think I broke the rod this summer. I found a Cub 128 with a 12hp engine for sale nearby. The owner of the 128 says the clutch for the PTO/blades needs replacing but all else works fine. Could I replace my old motor on the 1250 with the motor from the 128 and use my PTO clutch? I think they called mine a quite line series because it has the side covers. Would the covers still fit if I used the motor from the 128? I'm not a mechanic and of course I'd get someone to do the work for me but I'd like to pick up the 128 if it would work. Also it appears the 128 does not appear to be a hydrostatic unit like my 1250. Would this be a problem? Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!

Short answer: no. You need a K301AQS. 128 has a K301A.

Hydro or gear drive donor makes no difference. That's in the trans, not the motor.

Sometimes Kohler connecting rods will just break and not hurt anything else. It'd be worth checking in to.

Will it fit in there ? Yes. But it will need wiring changes as well as I dont think the 1250s pto will bolt onto it (cant remember if they were drilled for em) also have he side shields will no longer be able to bolt on without modification. Would be much easier to get the 128 to use as a worker while ya rebuild the aqs engine

Id do what can by said get the 128 got by as a worker until you get to the 1250. Also keep a watch on craiglist for an engine who knows what else is tore up in your engine.

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.
