D600 Questions
This may or may not be the right place for this question but...
Background: I'm working on an engine swap in my 1572. While moving components over from the tired Cub D600 to the replacement D600 I noticed some differences in the gear case assembly, (for reference the replacement D600 came from a G5200 Kubota Garden tractor). The Cub engine has a cover and threaded studs in the gear case, the G5200 does not. These studs are important as this is where the Cub throttle and engine kill cables and their respective bracket are mounted. I think I have a few paths forward at this point, summarized below: 1. Swap gear case cover from the 1572 to G5200 engine. This is the path to maintain a "correct" OEM engine. I'm reluctant to do this because the G5200 engine runs great and is leak free. 2. Fabricate new mounting plate and bond it with a high strength adhesive to the G5200 cover. Simple fabrication with studs welded in place that is the same thickness as the OEM cover plate. This will allow mounting of the OEM throttle linkage bracket and is relatively low risk. Worse that can happen is the adhesive doesn't hold. Understand in this scenario I will need to find a new ground location as the lower stud will now be insulated from the engine block. 3. (High risk), transfer punch holes in the G5200 cover, drill and tap holes for mounting the OEM throttle linkage bracket. I "think" there is sufficient material there to do this. 4. Fabricate unique throttle linkage bracket after G5200 engine is installed in the 1572, use existing holes in the G5200 engine cover. This will take some time to get sorted out correctly. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Thoughts on path forward?

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.
