KT-17 has points and coil ignition and is horizontal shaft. KT-17 series I has a low-pressure oil pump and spray-lubed rod bearings. The Series II is full pressure lube. The MV-18 is a vertical shaft engine with magneto ignition and full pressure lube.

Thanks Matt after posting the question I did a search and found that subject had been beat to death The reason I asked was to determine whether to swap out motors in 1811 since I cant find a good used m18 without breaking the bank

Just to add to what Matt said,
The m-18 is the last and best of that flat head series motor
It has increased and thicker webbing throughout the block.
The flywheel taper is increased in diameter.
It uses Mahle FORGED pistons of robust design.
There were also running improvements in its design, like a 30* valve angle.
Thus the “Magnum” term really meant better/improved.
If it weren’t for emission requirements and fuel improvements I’m sure it would still be in production.

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.
