As far as the 1810, there are a few options that should make finding a replacement easier. You can repower with a vanguard or magnum or ch kohler out of a cub. I know of at least one member here that even has a k series kohler in a 10/11 series tractor.
The right answer is to buy the 124 and find a new engine for the 1810 and keep them both.

I think it's fair to say that every cub needs work on the steering, I don't think I've ever bought one that didn't have a mile of play in it. Clutch work is about 50%, if it wasn't beat on its whole life the clutch is probably ok. I will agree that keeping both is the best option, you can't have to many cubs.
