Default Single cylinder kohler 14HP or 16HP in a 682?
Hi guys, I need an engine for my 682 and most say not to bother with the KT17. I was thinking why not swap in a single cylinder 16hp engine from a 1650 or even a 14hp single from a 1450? They are both wide frames so it seems like it would be a easy swap. Let me know what you think. Seems like I could find those much easier and cheaper then a newer KT17 or magnum 18 etc....

It will work but it will have noticable vibration compared to a twin cylinder, I have a 1211 which is basically a 782 with a 12hp single and it's definitely not as smooth as twin but is tolerable in my opinion.

Yea the vibration don't bother me, The 106 doesn't bother me so I'm sure it would be fine. Will the electric pto clutch bolt right up and the driveshaft also or is some modification going to be required? thanks!

If you are patient, you will find a good series 2 or magnum.
Do not wast your $$ on a series 1 as a replacement.
I have 2 spare magnums, one I built from parts and another that was given to me by a wonderful member here.
They are not for sale, but just proving they are out there, craigs list, epay and others.
Hopefully other members here will post what cub models will fit, I think the cyclops series will fit and if you are willing to go with the newer "V" twin style, there are retrofit kits but they are a little pricy for some ppl but there are also used ones.

The most noticable difference between the 106 and the 682 is all the extra sheet metal on the 682, once the sheet metal starts vibrating it gets pretty loud. I spent some time on my 1211 trying to reduce it as much as possible and have it to the point where it's completely tolerable.

The retrofit kits are out of the question for now, I cant see paying that much for a mower engine. I have seen the magnums online but they are 4-500 plus. Maybe I will get lucky ........

I guess the extra metal would cause more vibration, how did you reduce the noise?

Watch for other brands with the Mag in them.... Sears put them in a lot of there GT's... Just make sure the shaft is the same or use the pre-existing PTO....

Do post to us here before you possibly purchase another engine as there are a lot of models of mags & series 2 that are different specks, that will not work for one reason or another, crankshaft diameters and lengths are just 2 that come to mind.
Luck with your search.

I cut fuel tubing and glued it to the grille housing towards the top of the side panel, that was a pretty noticable difference by itself. I also squeezed the hood a bit so it was tighter to the dash, other than that I basically just checked everything over to make sure everything was tight.

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.
