Smile K321 ?
Has anyone converted a K321 to a gear drive starter from the S/G. If so will the gear drive starter bolt on where the S/G bolts? This engine is in a CC149. Thank you for your time.

yes it does. as long as your block has the scallop above the mount pad for the starter. pretty sure all the 14 blocks did, I know not all the 10's and 12's did

Thank you for your reply, I will check the block and if the scallop is there, I will have to gather up some parts.

My K301 in my 129 was converted. Just so you know, the front bearing plate, flywheel and tins also have to be changed. The flywheel with the ring gear is larger diameter, so the tins have to be larger to accommodate. The bearing plate has to be changed so that you have the bolt bosses to fasten the stator.

I'm not sure that the bearing plate has the bosses drilled and tapped for the stator.

Thank you Guys for your replies. I have a few jobs in the shop to get out before under taking this project. I am not interested in going the stator route, If possible it will stay battery ignition. Does anybody know if the flywheel has the indentation for the ring gear? There is no pop out for the gear starter on the shroud, so that being was there any difference in the overall dia. between the gear starter and the S/G flywheel shrouds? Thank you for your time.

The stator isn't for the ignition, it's for charging. You can't run a starter AND a generator. The starter mounts where the generator does. You have to run a stator.

You are correct, I do not know what I was thinking. If I can get it worked out, I am going to run a small alternator.

Unless your looking for more amperage, a stator is an alternator. They cost less too. (Assuming that you have an engine to pull parts from.) Only real benefit of an external alternator is increased amperage, and if you use a small one, (like what the kubota's use) you aren't really gaining anything. I'd go with the stator. Just my

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.
