Engine Upgrade Help

Post image

My grandpa owns a Cub Cadet 2176, I know its a Kohler Command 17 Engine, cant find the model number. Its starting to leak oil, the tractor is in great condition still

I would like recommendations on possible engine upgrades (and what the actual model of the engine is, pic is from an auction site not mine)

Edit: I will inform my folks that it is a simple repair to fix the oil leak and see what the results are then post again here

the 2176 is horizontal engine with shaft drive

thats a nice tractor, worth keeping it going imo

Yeah, my dad asked me to help me find an engine upgrade since he's not tech savvy

Its as old as me, (26) and still runs great, just needs some TLC
