Kohler engine ID
First post - apologies if I missed a forum that already has the info I seek.
I got a 169 a while back and have been fixing it up, but recently became aware of the 12 fins vs. 13, so I want to identify the engine I have (mine is only 12 fins). My engine tag has no model, only SPEC # 45 522 41 and Serial #3308600109. Assuming I am interpreting what I have found so far, my engine is a 2003 (10 digit number, 70+33), but I don't know if it is K341 or ? and would like to know what 'features' the Spec for this engine indicates. I believe I have a genuine 169 tractor. SN is 2050048U51929, which corresponds to July 1974. It came with several attachments, some new rear tires, and some spare parts. I just finished the steering box rebuild and fixing 'repairs' done incorrectly by the previous owner, such as the flex coupling being bolted metal to metal instead of the X pattern! Anyway, I intend to be mowing grass by next week. If I can identify the engine, it will help to decide how far I go toward a full restoration. I am pretty sure I need a different engine to be original, but trying to avoid a rookie mistake. Thanks for any insight.

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.
