Default Need Carb information for Cub Cadet Original

The Original Cub Cadet I bought had the carburetor and exhaust removed and holes plugged for storage but he lost the parts. I can weld up my own exhaust if I can't find the proper parts so I'm not too concerned with that. I'm more worried about finding a proper carb for the K161S engine. I would like to find an OE style carb for the restoration I'm planning, however I'd just like to get it running for now. Does anyone know of any brand carb that will fit on a Kohler K161 and what vehicle would I find this on?

If it ain't off an original it will not work with an oil bath air cleaner.

Couldn't I just use whatever carb that fits and then modify an oil bath filter to fit on it? I have another question, does anyone know what spark plug will fit in the K161? It has an old nasty Champion J19LM in it now but I can't seem to find those anymore and every parts store keeps giving me spark plugs that are similar in size to the one that came in it but nothing exact. I don't want to chance it with something that is "close enough".

Nevermind the spark plug question, I took back the incorrect plug they gave me and talked to a parts person who actually knew how to look up parts numbers. Champion still makes the J19LM even though now they say "made in Mexico" on the box. What is this world coming to? Just think how the unemployment rate would decrease if just a few of these large companies brought the blue-collar jobs back to the states. Most of the long time American companies still have headquarters in the U.S. but their products are made overseas. I wonder if these white-collar creeps even care that they are destroying this country and turning it into a nation of poor consumers when we use to be the richest nation on the planet back when we were the largest producers of goods. Uh, sorry for getting off topic and I don't wish to start a heated arguement and get in trouble for it but this stuff really gets me going. Thanks for the help guys.

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.
