1710 repower
For those of you who like long stories, here you go.
A couple years ago, before yellow fever happened, through a series of circumstances I received a beautiful 1710 that looked spotless, but it had a blown motor, which of course I knew. When I got it I was not in a position to spend money to get it going, so into a storage shed it went, and there it sat. I grew up driving Cub Cadets (71 and 782) so I new I had a good mower but I did not have much of a need for one at the time either. Then things started to happen; my brother Jon (JMech) caught the yellow fever and it flowed over to me. Then after a few projects around the house that would have been better to have a Cub, it was time to get started. Motor: we found a doner tractor which is a 1541 with a M15. We'll I guess that would do, I really wanted a M18 or at least a kt17 series 2. So I got the tractor out of storage and into the shop to pull the motor, which was easier than I thought, it was my first time pulling a cub motor that I remember, only like 2 hours and that was with my boys 'helping' me. Then last night Jon and I were talking and he said he had good news. Kohler did not make a 15 horse motor. The m15 is a m18 block with a smaller carb. So, he said, we will rebuild the carb of your kt and PRESTO....M18!!!! No need to say I am really excited now. Accessories: I wanted to make a hydrolics lift but didn't want to spend the money, cause vacation is coming, but again last night Jon said he had parts of a ported hydro and all I needed to do was get some seals and a couple other things for it and we could drop that one it. So again I am getting even more anxious cause now all I need it control lever and linkage and I will have a full fledged 1811. Thanks tons to my brother and guys on this site for knowledge I have learned from it. I will keep this thread going with pictures up to finished product and I have a few other options planned while it's going together. Yes this is a long story but I am really excited for this because I don't have room for a lot of Cubs just one really nice one and it is well on its way.

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.
