Well John, if I knew what I was doing I probably should have ran away from this motor when I saw it.
 I don't know what my plans are at this point. This is the first motor I'm jumping into this deep so I figured I'd pick a good challenge and I think I did good there. Looks to me like they are built pretty good but I wish Stens or some other manufacturers would make parts for them. I have found pistons that are about $80 with rings when Onan wants about $130 for them and the main bearings for $40 with the OEM ones at $124. Are they any good? I have not found aftermarket rods or valve parts yet and I think that is the weak link in these engines.  I need to run it into the machine shop and see what they say about the bore and valve seat. They make a replacement oversized valve seat but do I need to do all 4? http://onanparts.com/index.php?main_...products_id=67 I've been told that this model engine (out of a Grasshopper) had valve seat issues. I've also been told by my wife that I'm an idiot so that's why I stay out in the shop tinkering on stuff I don't understand.

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.
