Default A what-if/can I type question for the gurus

I have a 782 (yellow ccc) with a likely good KT-17 engine but a lot of other issues. I’m looking at a 1872 with a likely bad Magnum engine. Can I, could I would I should I be able to swap my good engine into without re-engineering a huge amount?

The KT-17 is a "drop in" replacement for the M-18 ...EXCEPT... there is a difference in the Ignition Wiring, and a minor modification would need to be done.

I've done a few of these conversions. Like mentioned above, there are some wiring/switch differences that can be addressed in a couple of ways. There is a kill wire/circuit on the Magnums, which the battery ignition tractors do not have. I rewire mine to accept an ignition switch from an 1810/1811/1812, but others utilize a relay into the existing 782 harness.

Thanks, looks like I’ll be spending some money if I can get him down a little.

I’ll likely be needing guidance on that if the deal works out. Thanks

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.
