C series engine swap

[Mrdante 3]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I'm new to Wheel Horses. I picked up my first WH about 6 mo ago. A C160 Hydro. It came with 2 plows and a disc harrow. I traded a gun that I had about $500 into. I've used to plow and it seams that the hydro just doesn't pull like it should. So today I bought a C105 with an eight speed transmission. The engine doesn't run, the guys said "it's a rod". I only paid $200 for it and it came with a good mower deck. I bought it with plans to swap my running K321 into the C105 that has the K241. They look very similar if not identical externally. My question is does anybody foresee any problems with this swap or should it be a direct bolt in? Thank for any advice. 

 

 I hope I placed this post in the right section. It looked like this was the best place for it over the engine section.

Should be pretty straight forward, and

I think the C-105 has the shaker mount motor. If I'm correct just remove the mount down to the frame and bolt the replacement motor directly to the frame. Keep in mind that the bolts on the right side come up from under the frame. the bolt flanges hang over the frame.

My C-101 has the shaker engine mount, but I didn't think the 105s had it.

I just checked the manual...Bob is correct, the C-105 does have the shaker plate mount.
