Default K-301 in a model 126
I bought another model 126 today. So now I have two... How come on the engines that are both kohler 12hp. One of the oil dipstick goes into the top right front of the block and one of them goes into the left side of the engine?

the one with the dipstick on the left side isnt original, the left side dipstick is from a newer tractor.

Ok, will the crankshafts be the same do you know? The original engine is a k301. The other engines description tag is warn so I can't read it.

K241, 301, and 321 all use the same crankshaft.

You sure about this. I thought that the 241 used a shorter stroke crank. While the k301, 321 and 341 used a 3.250 stroke.

Also not to nit pick but there are subtle differences in the k301 when compared to the 321 or 341. The 301 cranks do not have full counter weights.

Yes, that is correct. My bad. 301, 321, and 341 are the same stroke crank.

I don't know about the counter weights.... If it's a pulling engine, it should be a balanced rotating assembly, so it could be corrected.

Being it's 12hp and your saying that it is newer. What models could I match it up with to find out what model it really is?

chance's are the motor with the side dipstick may have balance gears, that was one of the reasons they moved them from the top, the 301 crank has lighter balance weights

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.
