Cub 1711 Bad Oil Leak.
Just picked up a 1711 with 44" deck and plow bade yesterday. I bought it understanding that there was a slight oil leak. It dripped a little when running. Figured I would use it to finish out this year and look into fixing it over the winter. Well I hooked up the deck and ran it for maybe 20 minutes. Checked the oil and it was low. Filled it back up, mowed a little longer. Low again. Now under the engine is drenched and it has gotten on the belt.
I love this little tractor and have no problem putting some elbow grease into it. It has the kt17 series 2 engine and I have read about the issues these engines have in hills. Half of my property is a hill. Should I attempt to fix the oil leak or just look for a different engine? My main question is what engines will work in this tractor? Oh and it's a hydrostatic model if that matters.

I think it's only the series 1 engines that have issues on hills.

Good luck.
It might be as simple as the crank oil seal behind the PTO. I just changed one a couple weeks ago on my 18hp and it isn't a difficult job. Of course it could be something else too.

I'm on the process of getting it back together. I believe the issue was the cylinder gasket. It goes between the cylinder and the block. Was only a $6 part but had to call around and special order it. I got the engine partially in the tractor and let it run for about 5 minutes and I didn't see any oil. So hopefully I'm good.

I thought your request for comments on a replacement was a bit premature. From what I have heard and read the big problems with the KT 17 engines were mostly with the series I. I believe that the series II engines have an oil pump that keeps things lubed even on hills. Glad you found your problem.

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.
