Re-Power 70,100 or any narrow frame from Kohler to Briggs V Twin
Hi everyone.
First time post, hopefully I'm doing this right. I have an 18 HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard I just finished rebuilding and I was thinking it would be nice to put in a 100 I have or possibly a 124 I'm looking at. Do I need any special adapter to hook up the drive line? I know I'll have to notch the frame for clearance but was curious if anyone has done a similar swap to see what I'm getting into. Thank you |

Thanks for the warm welcome.
So is there any adapter needed for this swap? or does the adapter off of the Kohler bolt on? |

It will have to be custom fabricated as well as most of your retrofit.
You can check with Sponsor and Machinist "Parts by Jeff" for your fabrication needs.

Will definitely have to notch the frame, probably custom mounts for the engine, and custom adapter. In theory that should be all. The IH Cub Cadet 147 was frame notched for the 14hp Kohler.
IMHO a wide frame Cub would be best for this sort of mod because the frame is already a lot wider, though it would still be interesting to see if this works in a Narrow Frame.

My Grandfather actually had a 147 I used to mow with so I'm very familiar with that frame modification.
I have my eye on a 124 that I may do this to then put the 12 HP into the 100 as I always thought that the 10 HP was under-powered as I had to run full throttle just to mow grass. |

My 106's 10hp engine has no trouble with power at all. The only limiting factor is traction

Sorry, but why? What's wrong with the OG Kohler engine? The K series were great motors. I guess I just don't get the fascination for repowers. Whatever you want to do is up to you obviously.

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.
