Do all engines come with condenser?
I have a cub cadet original and I couldn't help but notice it doesn't have a condenser on it in the ignition system. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it. Do some engines come with a condenser? If not, is there a way I could mount one?

I do believe they should come with a condenser, don't think it'll run right without.
Question: is your Original Electric start or pull start with no starter/generator? If it's pull start and without a starter/generator, the coil is mounted as part of a magneto beneath the flywheel and it generates spark with magnets mounted to the flywheel. The condenser may be mounted underneath the flywheel with it.

NO.....not all engines utilize or use a condenser.
Kohler's Magnum series engine, is a Magneto Ignition system that has NO condenser. That is just one example.

If you have electronic ignition from the battery, you do NOT have magneto ignition. Therefore, you have an external coil, and points, and therefore you need a condenser.
Modern magneto ignitions do not require a points and condenser. Older magneto ignitions do use points and condenser (mainy prevalent on old Briggs and Stratton engines). The Kohler Magnum engines are new enough to not need points and condenser. Timing is set simply by a magnet on the flywheel. This is why when a lawn mower shears a flywheel key, it disrupts the timing and won't run right. I would put a condenser on your Original. It's in all the wiring diagrams for the cubs that used a K series Kohler, including the Original. You might do more damage to your points and coil without one.

This is a magneto from a k161 with electric start. It mounts under the flywheel, and you can see it has a condenser.
The silver disc holds the magnets and slides on the crankshaft under the flywheel also. The heavy black wire is the sparkplug lead, the yelloish wire goes to the points. If you have points and a coil it will prolong the life of your points to add a condenser.

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.
