[Cubcadet_107]

Ok, so I took a step back and thought about this for a bit. Thank you all for the info and ideas, that's why I love this site.

So I think I have a pretty good game plan. I need to:

1. Finish the k321 for the 147 and remove it from the workbench

2. Purchase a gasket and seal set, because either way I'll need it

3. Pull the k241, bring it to the workbench, pop off the pan and disconnect the rod, inspect everything internally for any damage

4. Decide if it's useable or if it needs a rebuild

5. Either reassemble it with new gaskets and seals, then reinstall it, or, put the k301 together with new gaskets and seals and install it. Then rebuild the k241.


So before I take any action toward swapping the k301 in, I will dismantle the k241 and check to see what the crankcase looks like. If it looks good I'll put it back together and run it. If I spot a clear issue, then I'll swap stuff over to the k301. The k301 would remain in the 107 until any issues with the k241 are fixed. I'll have to get to work tomorrow, won't know what the exact plan is til I open the engine up, so I will get to it.
