Cub Cadet 2165 Mower, Lawn and Garden Tractor Category
Original Model: Briggs 16hp Vanguard 303447-1147
You will need to use the drive adapter and muffler off of your original engine, and you may have to use the oil filter bracket. Since the wiring may be slightly different, you can use the wiring harness off of your old engine. If you buy an engine that the model number starts with "305" or "356", the flywheel fan and housing will be thicker and you will likely have to use these two parts from your original engine.
