Cub Cadet 2160
I need to replace my engine on my 2160. I've found a 16 and 18 hp Briggs Vanguard engine but don't want to spend $1000+. Any ideas on alternative engines or a good place to find a new or used engine that can be used in the 2160?

Why do you need to replace? A rebuild or more often just head gasket may be all it needs.

It broke the crank shaft and the case and had other internal damage.

Did you try looking for a donor tractor ? It seems when I look I can buy a whole tractor for less than what people are asking for just an engine or deck. I did that when I needed a new deck, but ended up rebuilding the donor tractor and using it as well.

Is your tractor shaft drive/hydro? If so then you need an extra expensive motor that is so designed. Trust me. I know from experience.
