682 KT17S rebuild
I just picked up a Cub built 682. It's a series 1 KT17S. It leaks oil and smokes so I am going to replace the rings, gaskets and seals. Good compression in both cylinders.
Any tips you can offer would be appreciated. I am still in my search phase and haven't ordered any parts yet. I looked on ebay and found an aftermarket gasket/seal kit for $50 and an OEM kit for $110. I am leaning toward an OEM kit unless people have some good things to say about the aftermarket set. I am open to buying through a sponsor here or another recommended source as well. I have the Kohler KT17 service manual from the website but need a better manual. Any suggestions? This is my first engine rebuild, but I have been wrenching on stuff my whole life so I have no concerns with proper resources. What specialty tools will I need to replace every seal in the kit? Any special gasket sealant (I've used Indian Head in the past). I have a decent tool collection so other than specialty tools I should be all set. Thanks everyone, I look forward to getting this thing torn apart. if the motor rebuild doesn't work, I am not against throwing some money at it and buying a replacement motor. We'll see how it goes!

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.
