Just a bit of wisdom I've learned in my old age "You can always afford to do it right the second time" That phrase has saved me a lot of $$$ over the years.

You know I like that saying, I think I'll try to remember that myself. I guess I'll go with right.

Thanks for the opinions guys. Glad I found a livelier Cub community to ask questions of... had been struggling over on "mytractor".

It was a two part problem really. I measured the crank incorrectly and reinstalled it when it was worn past the out of round limit. Also when I reassembled it, I had a common rebuild problem some people face where the bolts holding the end cap on the connecting rod started working their way loose. This ovaled the connecting rod, and damaged my crank futher.

I shut it down when I started hearing a knocking sound from deep within, and tore it back apart because I was scared I'd send the connecting rod through the block wall. Got the crank ground and reassembled it with a new 10 under connecting rod equipped with Posi-lock nuts instead of bolts. Runs great!

The shop in Terre Haute is Hapco. Their number is 812-232-2550. They do good work. Last Kohler crank I had done there was around $40.

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.
