WH1618speed 535 #1 Posted April 17, 2023 Hey all, will this kit fit my magnum 18 on my 418-A wheel horse? it's dirt cheap and I've kept my eye out for one for a while. This came off a cub cadet with a series II KT17. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,379 #2 Posted April 18, 2023 Looks like you will be needing an adapter plate at the engine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,457 #3 Posted April 18, 2023 You can get an adapter plate from another Series II engine, install a new gasket with it, and rock-n-roll. You could always install that remote filter as well; my 520H with an M18S has a filter remote on it. A few years ago I installed a filter plate on a C175 I had at the time. Others chimed in with their photos of adding a remote filter, too. Either method will work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,457 #4 Posted April 18, 2023 Oh, another thing, don't waster your money on a Briggs or Kohler oil filter. A WIX 51348 or similar filter can be had for much less than an OEM filter and is superior. I usually look for filters that fit a late model Fusion, Focus, or Fiesta. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,379 #5 Posted April 19, 2023 I wonder if you could just remove the "Bypass Cover", drill and tap it for 1/2-20 and use #5 ORB fittings to and from the oil filter hoses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
