I picked up a free Cub Cadet SC500 E today, and both the charger and the battery are wasted. In order to convert to pull start I will need the pull start body and the engine housing cover. This mower has the Briggs engine 190cc 875. Will the housing off the 163cc work for me ?
Solved the problem yesterday by picking up another free ( Troy Bilt ) mower with the same Briggs engine on it. Removed the two covers and everything seems to look the same. Hopefully i will get it back together today.
Got the Cub Cadet together and all is working great, the only part I needed from the Troy donor mower was the recoil and the guide for the starter rope that mounts on the handle bar.
Cub Cadet Engine model was a 12IS 05 0034 F1 serial no, 150115 56 39205
Troy Bilt Engine Model was a 12IS 02 0068 F1 Serial no. 150811 56 26274
I have an goof electric starter and wiring harness if anyone is interested.
