Welcome to our web page catalog. We specialize in garden tractor custom components and accessories made for the older International Harvester Cub Cadet garden tractors. However, most components work well on other makes of tractors that are powered by Kohler or Onan engines. These include John Deere, Ariens, Bolens, Case, Allis, Ford, Gravely, Jacobsen, and Wheel Horse.
The ignition system components are our specialty. These products have been garden tractor Pull Proven; that is, tested under the demands of competition tractor pulling. They've also been bench tested for thousands of hours to assure reliability in every-day mowing applications. Many satisfied customers attest to improved, consistent performance with vastly increased running time between tune-ups.
Company History
I've been an IH Cub Cadet enthusiast for many years and have developed or discovered the components listed on this site to improve the performance and reliability of my tractors. All of the items shown have, or are currently, operating on my Cub Cadet 1250 that is used year-round. Friends showed interest in purchasing these components and thus Kirk Engines, Inc. was formed. This is a hobby business and I'm not available for phone orders, thus please conduct all correspondence via email. I may be accessed by clicking on the link at the bottom of the catalog. I'm happy to answer questions about any of the products listed here, or just engine/tractor questions in general. All I ask is that you don't put me on a "mass mailing" list, don't forward a chain mail letter to me, don't send jokes (I've seen them all), or send large picture or video files. Legitimate questions are always welcomed.

Company News
We've been experiencing some problems lately with receiving order quotes. Also, some customers report that they get no response after submitting an order.
If you do not hear a response from us within 24 hours of submitting your order, please use my e-mail address at dkirk@milwpc.com and let me know. Also, use this address for all direct correspondence regarding specific questions on products, engine-related issues, etc. If possible, please list your phone number and I'll call you if e-mail communication breaks down. Please check your spam folder! Customers report that many of my replies go directly to their spam folder for reasons that I cannot correct for.
Please note that I answer every e-mail in a timely fashion. If you do not receive a reply within 24 hours, please check your spam folder...chances are you'll find me there. I also receive at least one inquiry per month where the sender's e-mail address is entered improperly and my reply bounces. Make sure that your e-mail address is valid.
Remember, this is a hobby business. Be patient - this is no big-box retailer. Every attempt is made to get your order shipped right away but sometimes delays occur due to demands of my "real job". Please do not ask for Next Day shipments or rush orders - plan ahead so that you're rush is not my rush. Also don't ask for any parts to be shipped prior to payment being received in full. Getting stiffed several times has made me leery.
The outbreak of COVID has had a detrimental effect on getting electronic components delivered on time. This has delayed production of the Trandenser and causing back-orders to exist. Also, prices have increased on said components. Please note that I'm striving to keep prices down but some increases are inevitable.

For those requiring a condenser clamp to mount the Trandenser II, these high-quality loop clamps are available. This clamp is a necessity for Onan applications as the Trandenser must be mounted external to the engine (not in the original points box location). These hard-to-find clamps are made of steel to resist vibrational-induced failures and are galvanized to prevent corrosion. Mounting is via a single, .250 diameter screw (not included). If your current condenser clamp is in poor shape or missing, you will need this clamp to properly mount the Trandenser.

Ever try replacing breaker points then drop one of those factory supplied, slotted head screws down into
the depths of the tractor, never to be found again? This handy kit will greatly reduce the chance of that
happening. It consists of four socket head cap screws (Allen screws) and lock washers. By using an Allen
wrench, the chance of dropping these is greatly reduced. Plus, more tightening torque can be applied,
lessening the chance of loosening in service. For all Kohler single cylinder K-series engines.
