Kohler kt17 series 2 question
Does anyone know how many hours you could expect to get on one of these engines if they were well taken care of all there lives. The reason I ask my red 782 has 2000 hours on it an it still runs like new but just wondering how much longer can this thing keep going?

At 2K I seriously doubt it's original. If it is..... it's a ticking time bomb. 800-1K hrs was probably average. I've seen several that blew way before 800.... I've seen some than made 1200 even more. I don't know that I've ever seen one make 2K. I really, really doubt it's the original.

As far as I can tell its original. The guy I bought it from said he put 40 hrs. on it. The guy before that the original owner saved all the receipts from the day he bought it I have the folder. The only thing I see was done was a new coil, new fuel pump, an new starter. But the way its sounds I hope your right an its the second motor

you could check the tractors build date and see if it coincides with the time frame of the KT17 1 or 2. allot of engines were changed under warranty . another thing I see allot is kids play on the tractor and leave the key on. hour meter keeps ticking

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.
