kohler command out of a cub into a sovereign

[truckin88]

Hi all new to the simple side of tractors have had many WHs and JDs. In reading on here I have found that I can swap a 90s/00s era command from a shaft driven cub to a sovereign with a triad. I currently have 2 a 75th triad still runs ok but has the valve cover leak and a 18 hydro, which also runs. Currently the 75th is up for sale to fund another project. I have a few cubs by me mostly with 16hp commands. And they are in the 200-300 range. Any advice on the swap, is it straight forward? All info welcome thanks.

Anyone?

You might PM a member called Burntime and ask him. I helped with the wiring but he did the conversion parts.

I don't remember anyone posting about installing a single cylinder Command (16HP is single cylinder I believe) into a Triad based Sovereign. Lots written about twin Commands into Triad based Soveriegns.

I have been looking can't find details. Any reason why a 16hp single kohler would not work? Out of a cub 2166 shaft drivers, there are a bunch out there for roughly 100-400 for entire tractor, looks like great motor bad trans.

Please do send links, maybe my wording is bad. When I try to search interested in commands or Magnums from shaft driven cubs into sovereigns.

I don't know about the 90's 00's era cubs, but the earlier ones had the oil pan integral to the tractor frame and would not work in a Simplicity without at least a pan. Not sure if any other differences.

Also what about kohler horizontal motors out of other non shaft driven machines like a 90s craftsman

Forget Burntime as his was a CH20 or 25.

What about a magnum twin horizontal that was belt driven out of a craftsman the m18 is a check of a motor.

Guys thank you for all the help, I have a lead on a m18 out of a Sears gt6000 going to check it out, May work? My only concern is the Sears is belt driven but it is horizontal. The whole running tractor is 200 bucks.

That's possible. I think BrettW had an M18 in as a replacement for a Triad.
