I don’t believe this is the original engine. I’m not 100% sure though. My uncle thinks if replaced it a few times. 1) is there a way to find out if it is the original? Matching serial numbers? 2) if it isn’t, what would you all put in it.

Cast iron kohlers will last a very long time. The biggest reason for a motor not lasting is lack of taking care of it. You can bet there are plenty of guys on this forum still running 50 year old motors.

Don't try to compare newer motors to old motors. I promise you, a 12 hp kohler will do all you need and then some.

Lots of pics posted will help us here, help you. I use IMGUR to post and it works really easy.

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.
