Default Piston

Getting parts off ebay. Had a 12hp block, lost it, while I still had it, I bid on a piston and crank. Won the piston and the crank, also won a 10hp block, can I get the 12hp piston in the 10hp block? What does it cost to get it bored out?
Thanks,
Mouse

neither piston, nor crank will swap. Sorry bud. Boring shouldn't cost much, but you'll want to get the new piston first.

I want to bore out the 10hp to = a 12hp, and use the 12hp piston.

Can't do, A 10hp has a (roughly) 3.250" piston, the 12hp has a (roughly) 3.5" piston. That's 1/4"....unless you sleeve it....but I don't think you could remove that much material without makeing it paper thin....if it even has room to go 1/4".
Second, the strokes different, which means the piston height may be different...but I know the rods are different, so the height may be the same.....doesn't matter. The price of sleeving it is probably higher that buying a new piston.
We'll need someone else opinion here.

This info came from a Kohler Service Manual.

The bore diameter for a 10 horse motor is 3.251.
The bore diameter for a 12 horse motor is 3.375.

The stroke for a 10 horse motor is 2.875.
The stroke for a 12 horse motor is 3.250.

The 10 horse crank will work in a 12 horse power block. I wouldn't do it....not enough stroke. The 12 horse crank will not work in a 10 horse power block. The counterweights from a 12 horse motor will hit the bore in a 10 horse block when the crank rotates.

The last Kohler motor (K321-14 horse block) I had sleeved cost around $85. That was 3 years ago. Odds are it is around a $100 now.

Is the piston new?

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.
