The engines are the same. Just like a k301 is the same as a k341 (12 hp and 16hp) only difference is the carb. I know an older guy that worked for Kohler, Briggs, and Tecumseh back in the day. And he told me all about this. All though I don't think Kohler has ever made a 15. Probably a 14 or 16 hp carb on a 18 hp engine.

You better learn to read a book instead of listen to "some people". Check George's post above. The different models of the K series are all different CI's. The numbers tell you this. K301 is 30 cubes, the K321 is 32 cubes.

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.
