782 Knocking after first time mowing.
Some may have seen my post about my new to me 782. Well after working on my 1450 loader project, I decided to take a break from that and mow for the first time with the 782. I had just got the 44" deck repaired and fitted to it that morning, and had never used the tractor for more than a few minutes at a time, so I was excited to work her a little bit. I mowed the yard for about 45 min. and when I was done I just tooled around to let it cool down on the way back to the shed, and when I idled it down I heard a "knock knock knock" so I quick shut it down checked the oil. It was fine, I let it cool down, checked timing(I knew it was done for but was trying to be optimistic) and fired it back up, still knocking. The previous owner said it was a series II kt17 and I believed him. He said he put new rods, pistons, and bored it. He told me he worked at a john deere dealer when these were new, so I believed he new what he was doing. That is why I had buying things that were just rebuilt. None of it matters because after it started knocking I checked the numbers on the cases and it is a series 1 P.O.S. anyway. I feel I was had. I don't know why it started knocking, maybe it has the wrong rods, bad machine work? I have no idea. So I am ticked and it ruined the rest of my sunday. Now I have to find a engine for it and install it before the plowday in October. And I had already disassembled the 1450 so I am without a mower.
Sorry this is long, but I had to vent about it. I found out today I may have a line on a Honda GX620 from a guy at work, I don't know what it would take to install it and adapt the PTO but the price is right. Any ideas or insights into my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

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.
