You have two choices, (A) Rebuild, or (B) Re-power.
Each has their own positives and negatives. It comes down to what you are willing to do for yourself and the size of your wallet.

Rebuild will be easiest, there's really no engines that will drop in without modification.

What leads you to believe it's low on compression? These engines have a compression release to help the start so doing a compression test is worthless. Does it smoke?

A little while back I did a complete rebuild on a 147 power plant . It cost me $400 it is still running fine. Money well spent. I didn't do it on the cheap. I made sure everything was done proper. It most likely will out live me

Those old Kohler engines are junk!!
I mean heck, they usually only last 30-50 years, and that is with regular maint like changing the oil a couple of times in their lifetime and the air filters @ least once in that time frame. If You spend a few hundred $$ to rebuild one I don't think they will last more than another 30-50 years.  I think you get my drift here. A properly rebuilt K series, will outlast a modern repower. given the same maint. or lack of it. but that is just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. Rebuild what you have, no muss no fuss.

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.
