That is not a rebuild in my book.

Sections 10 thru 12 in a Kohler Service Manual has the needed infomation to rebuild a motor the right way. I would ask some questions on how the motor was rebuilt.

Nor anyone else Merk. That doesn't even qualify as an overhaul. The biggest shame is talking to or selling something to a person that would call that a rebuild and you actually do rebuilds and overhauls. They don't even know what you are talking about and can't appreciate what is involved.
You be surprise how many think that is a rebuild or overhaul.

I think rebuild and overhaul are the same term. In the aviation engine world, 'overhaul' usually entails new pistons, cylinders, machining, etc. at least to some extent. Sometimes just the top end is done (I think this is referred to as a "top overhaul" ... any A&P in the audience please correct me) and a more major overhaul will bring the engine back like-new condition.

Where I'm from, 'rebuild' and 'overhaul' mean basically the same thing....in my mind, re-ringing an engine and doing not much else would be considered 'freshening up' in my mind.
I was thinking the same thing. It depends on where you live as to the term you use

Merk...I just spent some time reading the suggested sections in the Kohler Service Manual. I would tend to bet that there are a lot of engines claiming to be "rebuilt" that have just been disassembled, broken parts replaced and put back together. I may be an "old fart" but am pretty new to small engine repair. This site ALWAYS is a valuable learning tool for me.
My Son and I rebuild Kohler motors if anyone is interrested.

The following parts are replaced when I build a motor:
gaskets
piston
rings
connecting rod
governor gear (plastic gears only)
points push rod (aluminum version)
head bolts
points
condensor

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.
