Had to give up on the dash pod idea for the gages, they would have ended up sticking out about 4" from the dash in order for the line that goes to the oil press gage to not end up getting kinked. Made a dash out of some 1/4" lexan I had from my racecar winshield and took the hole saw to the dash think it's going to end up looking cool anyway. May cover the lexan with some carbon vinal.

Got the engine removed from the 2284 today. Cleaned it up and took the blower housing off. Who ever worked on this made a mess out of it. Bunch of broken bolts, missing bolts, wiring is a mess, no wonder it wouldn't run like it should. Got the engine ready to remove from the 1882 and ordered two new CH22's for them. The orange hoist make life easy.

Agree and I've got a yellow hoist that I use. Colors don't matter when it's a FEL!

Sam, are you buying CH22's at $1,500 or so each, or do you have a lower priced source for them?

Dave

This is what's going in the Cubs
http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/...11&desc=Kohler Engine 22hp Horizontal 1"x2-3/4" Shaft, Command, Electric Start, OHV, CIS, fits Cub Cadet

I'll post some pics later of the mess the PO made of the other engine. I'll fix it at some point in the future and find something to put it in. Don't know if the Mag 18 is worth saving but even with no gov and a hole in the block it runs pretty good. Fired it up yesterday, unloaded it from my trailer then drove it about 1000' to the area that I have my pressure washer set up. Gave it a bath started it up again and drove it to the garage.

Got the Mag 18 out of the 1882 today. Used the motor plate from the 2284 as a guide to drill the bolt holes in the motor plate from the 1882 so that I don't have to replace it. Simple job just put the 2284 plate on top of the 1882 plate and ran a couple bolts into the holes on the side that have the nuts welded on where they bolt to the tractor frame. Need to cut off about an inch and a half of the plate in the front on the 1882 plate. Gonna go see my welder friend tomorrow so he can cut it with his plasma cutter, I'm too lazy to do it with a sawzall. New engines should be delivered tomorrow. That's about it for today. Time for a cold one.

Do you think a Command 22 HP burns about the same amount of fuel as a Mag 18? I'd guess so but not sure. I do think 22 HP is about perfect for these tractors if you plan to run a 54" or 60" deck.

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.
