I've got one of those, a 10 horse Briggs from an Allis Chalmers. Only issue is, it has MASSIVE piston slop and smokes like crazy when it runs!!
In all seriousness, rebuild it or buy another K161/181 to drop into it. Heck, pretty sure you could even get a k241 wedged in there if ya wanted to. But stick with the Kohler K series. They were designed to work with the Cubs, and its a lot easier to swap them in and out than to swap in a different brand engine.
