Engine Knock
I've had this 1650 QL with the K341 for about a month and half now. A couple of weeks ago while doing some heavy mowing, the engine started having some "knock" to it. I couldn't really hear it as the mower deck was extremely loud. I've since totally rebuilt the deck with new spindles, bearings and pulleys. Boy did that cost, but it's pretty quiet for it's size now. The engine knock has since gotten pretty bad, and is most noticeable at mid range rpm when say I'm just cruising back to the shop.
The season started with an oil change and other PM stuff. Today I drained the oil. There's quite a bit of metal in it, looks like anti-sieze in the light, and a magnet picks up a lot of particles; but a lot won't attract either. The engine was replaced with a short block sometime in the late 90's. Numbers: Engine S/N 2430505211; Spec # 4552241 The tag on the side says to order internal components as "for the short block" referring to the part number on the side instead of the spec number. That part number is gone, gad I hate this photo engraving that always disappears. Any thoughts or advice on this scenario?

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.
