The original motor for the Cub Cadet 128 (year of manufacture: 1971) was a Kohler 301, 12 horsepower engine.
I was wondering if this engine could be replaced for the Kohler 301 in my Cub Cadet, without major problems:
KOHLER 12.5 HORSE POWER ENGINE. IT IS HORIZONTAL SHAFT ENGINE. IT HAS 1" X 3.14" CRANK SHAFT. IT ALSO HAS A 15 AMP CHARGING SYSTEM WITH ELECTRIC START .
This engine is 12.5 horses, while my older Kohler engine is only a 12 horse engine. Also, my old 128 tractor does not have an electric start on it (but how my wife wishes it did!)
I'm not mechanically inclined, but have a friend who repairs cars and garden tractors for a living, and he is really good at it.
I'd normally just call Tim (my mechanic friend), but Tim just underwent prostate cancer surgery a week ago, and I figure it's just too soon to bother him with this.
I'm wondering if I could just buy this engine and have Tim plug it in when he gets back to work.
