Default Onan engine from 2145 to a 2155
I am needing to know if the 14hp engine out of my 2145 will work in a 2155 with a 16hp Kohler? The 2145 has a bad trans and the 2155 has a bad engine.

Thanks Dannie

Both are the same frame, so engine mounting plate is the same. You will have to take the muffler and driveshaft from the 2145 to the 2155. Choke and throttle controls show different part numbers, so there is likely a different cable length to contend with. Might be lucky that the longer one is on the 2155.... if not, then that will be an issue.

All in all, it looks like there could be issues. I just checked the main ones. Probably best to park them side by side, pull the hoods and side panels and compare. I am going to doubt anyone on here has done the swap. (Someone could surprise me though.) Onan engines aren't the better between the two.

Thanks for the answer. I am only thinking of this because I have had the 2145 for many years and know the engine and it runs good.

Why not change the transmission from the 2155 into the 2145 ?? It would be easier than changing cables, wiring, etc.

dale c thanks for the reply. I do not know enough about these mowers to know what will fit what. I wound buying a 1018 CC at a estate sale so I would have something to mow the grass. I still would like to get the 2145 going again because I thank it a better machine.

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.
