Would have not thought of patching, interesting. I have not pulled
the engine yet, just waiting to come up with a strategy. I have no
idea what caused it but there are lots of pieces of the block wedged
behind the starter.
Crazy thing is it still runs just fine. If you fill the crankcase with
oil it will start right up. No smoke no issues, throttle up and down
just fine. Will only run for about a minute though as it sets the low
oil switch off and kills engine.
It will be interesting to pull it apart and see. The only thing I can
think without looking inside is that breather failed and over pressured the
crankcase. But I would have thought seals and gaskets would have
started leaking prior to blowing up. It has no leaks other then this
big one.

Speaking of patching. That might be exactly what took place here.
Unfortunately I pushed the "plug inside while trying to pull it out.
It filled this hole and did not look like the rest of the block.
Never seen anything like this before.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
