12 hp Kohler Magnum

Will a 12 hp Kohler Magnum horizontal motor out of a Cub Cadet model 1211 fit a Classic Wheel Horse without major modifications?

Looked at tractor data but they didn't show a spec # for the Kohler used on the 1211.  Most of the cubs ran the PTO off a hub bolted on the flywheel...that is easy to remove.  The issue would be the out put end of the crank.  It may not be long enough.  If you have spec # you can look up the crankshaft part #  see if it matches a WH  Magnum 12.     if not there is a chart here some where that show all the dimensions of all the Kohler crank shafts.

 

also make sure they have ball bearings on the crankshaft

It has the bolted on PTO off the flywheel but I can't see the other shaft in the picture.  I'll bet you are right!  It could very well not be long enough!  No reason for it!   Darn it...  Rebuilt and only $200!  Oh well...

 

Thank you!
