Looking good!

Hint... The baffle on top of the head goes over the flywheel shroud.

That's not a "hint", you told him the answer.
You're doing a fine job, looks great.

Here's a little update. We fired her last night and it ran amazing. Started in 2 cranks. After we shut down, and looked around. There was a puddle of oil on the frame and the floor coming from the front oil seal. Now I know this should be in the engine section of this site, but I'm still going to ask. Where should the oil seal sit? Should it be flush with the block or a 1/2 inch onto the block. It's a k161 bored to k181 specs.

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.
