Am I crazy
So I have a1712 I bought 2 years ago that was a basket case. Didn't run when I got it but it only took about 30 minutes to get it going when I got home with it. However it smokes really bad. I replaced the KT 17 with a mag 18. Currently has a Mag 18 in it and everything works as it should. Its not a worker, just have it because they aren't very plentiful. I would like to rebuild the KT 17 so I can keep it original, and yes I know it is costly to do this. SOOO am I crazy for taking this approach? The overall condition of the tractor is pretty good.

I think so. But, it's your tractor. I don't see the value of the "original motor". Doesn't affect it's dollar value any, only viewed opinion. In another 30 years it may..... but I doubt it. Once the hood is shut and the side panels on, they all look the same. If the Mag runs good, leave it in. When it dies, repower it again.

If you want to rebuild the KT it is a choice only you can make. Dollar wise I wouldn't but if you just want to for personal reasons then go for it. I know that didn't answer your question.

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.
