Repowered Cub Cadet Garden Tractor
I recently repowered my Cub Cadet 129 hydrostatic garden tractor with a 10 hp., single cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine. The tractor was originally powered by a 12 hp. Kohler. I often take the tractor to antique tractor shows, and it’s pretty noisy, so people look twice when they hear me coming.
    I had to modify the tractor’s frame to make room for the engine, which came with both electric and recoil start. I took the recoil start off. I also removed the coupling from the Kohler engine and set things up so the diesel engine shaft-drives the tractor’s hydrostatic transmission. (James G.
