Default Kohler replacement for 782
I am thinking of replacing my worn out Kohler KT 17 series 2 with one of the non Kohler engines. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Might have to narrow the non Kohler engines down a little.
Some repower suggestions are
Kohler Ch 18/20
Briggs and Stratton vanguard
Honda
One of these above would be my suggestion.
I have a Ch18 in a 782 and love it.

Some have tried the Chinese Honda from harbor freight

I replaced the engine in my 1872 with a Vanguard from Small Engine Warehouse. "Almost" a direct plug and play.

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.
