    Starting to feel guilty. Engine swap

    This is the engine im taking out. I haven't started in a month. Ice cold start with throttle at idle. Hence the sound of struggle on startup. Cut the camera to let it warm a bit before showing full throttle and back down. Just realized I wanted it to warm up before cranking it....on an engine...

    Starting to feel guilty. Engine swap

    Today I'm going to start up Tug (my 782) drive it behind my barn, disconnect the Snow plow, drive it back up here just to shut off the KT17 for the last time. I have an opposed twin that doesn't smoke, doesn't leak. It has no Points or Condenser. It starts like a dream in below freezing Temps...

    782 engine swap, wiring sanity check

    The original kt17 needed 12v to the coil for the On/Off. New to me engine has a magneto setup so Now the On/Off function will be nothing electrical to Run but the Off will be Shorting that coil to Ground. Correct?

    How Difficult to Replace Wiring Harness

    No, definitely not the same color wires. I did have access to many different colors so it did help. I made a nail board so it was all layed out and cloth taped. It went in as a big one piece harness. It's been installed over 10 years now.

    Its alive!

    It sounds good. Is the battery charging too?

    How Difficult to Replace Wiring Harness

    I made my own harness from scratch for my 782. I would suggest taking masking tape to mark the ends of your new harness as to where it goes BEFORE disconnecting the old harness. This way you have a picture in your mind that all connections are accounted for.

    Help with starter on newer xt1 46"

    So that's what it was? Hydrolock in one cylinder?

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    The engine model is 422437 its an opposed twin. And, boy, I am hoping it ends up being a plug and play. Hopefully thr bolt pattern on the pull cord end will simply accept the driveshaft adapter off the Kohler K17. The gas feed, the choke bracket and throttle bracket are on the same respective...

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    Yeah, I know what it looked like. A bunch of similar tractors would show up within different groupings. Using the link I posted on previous thread, I type in "782" and I get only 22 individual parts. It doesn't show me that multil model listing like it did. If you folks click the link I gave...

    Just ran up to firehouse to take pics. Optional Pull Start is assembled so no help in viewing that.

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    Parts lookup changed. Do they not support our old Garden tractors? I used to be able to type in "782" and it would bring me to options...engine, attachments, etc. Now it goes nowhere. https://www.cubcadet.com/en_US/content-asset-page-includes/ari-partstream.html

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    So there is hope that this engine (model not known yet) may actually accept a standard connection. It's not a Vanguard, I don't believe. That would be too much to hope for. Adapting the Mule end is not a factor as I do not use it. Trailer hitch for trailers and snowplow duties (when snowfall is...

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    What have you folks done to mate a stock Driveshaft to an engine you swapped in? Are the Crank ends ( on front fan end) made to accept additional mountings? The K17 Gen 1 is mounted 'backwards' in the 782. In order to get rotation correct, I have to do the same with new engine. I'm not familiar...

    Probably for asthetics more than strength. A few 1" welds would do but it wouldn't look nearly as nice.

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    Chances are you don't need any new parts. Take the carb off, drop the Bowl and see if the float moves freely. Push the float up and see occupy can blow thru the fuel nipple. You shouldn't be able to. Let the float drop, see if you can blow thru the fuel nipple. Hopefully you can. Stop...
