CH18 vs CH18s
Hello
I recently purchased a Cub Cadet 1863 Model 144-664-100 Serial 854163 The engine is a Kohler Command 18hp CH18s Spec. 62588 Serial 3330412011 This was a Auction purchase, the tractor sat in a barn for a long time. It had been partially disassembled when I got it. It need a grill (broken), hood and fenders are just worn and very dirty. I put a new battery in the tractor and checked fluids then tried to turn the engine over. To my delight it turn over sounding great! It has a fuel problem though. So I ordered a cheap fuel pump with the valve cover already on it, I thought that would cure everything. It ran, just really rough. So I decided to rebuild the carb and run new fuel lines from the tank. I also drained the tank to get all old fuel out. Here is my problem: Local small engine Cub Cadet dealer has the CH18S carb kit ( gasket, a couple of bolts and maybe 2 jet? ) for $110!!!! Not a carb but a carb kit! So checking online I found several that look just like that but the are for a CH18 not my CH18s. Does this make a difference? The kits look very similar and the online kit is $12 compared to $110 locally! I hate buying non factory stuff but WOW! So I am very new to this and would love any opinions on what I should do! Thanks in advance!

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.
