I'm a machinist, yes. Among many other things LOL I make all sorts of custom parts and have built a few custom bikes. And have reworked Corvair pistons to fit an 80" flathead.
Wouldn't be the first bore-and-hone I did. Or the twentieth. You have a valid point though. We ain't talking Harley jugs here. The time involved in making the right fixture[s] to do the job right, escalates the PITA factor immensely. Most of the work I do involves special fixturing, and for a one-off it is seldom worth it unless [1] the customer has bottomless pockets or [2] it's for making stuff for a hobby interest like custom morse code paddles or special plumbing parts for the wife's reef aquarium.. For a machine for yardwork [which I did not buy to make more work for myself but to make an onerous task easier--I swear the 42 deck on this 108 out-mows either of my other decks, even the 48 on my 1811] it's another story when there's probably a dozen places in the county I can take the motor to. |

A guy I work with who's into pulling with cubs has offered me a freshly rebuilt stock K301 in exchange for this block and a little dough...the temptation to take the lazy way out is very strong...

I wouldn't call that deal lazy at all. Sounds like you have options!

Think I would take the deal, that's my 2 cents.

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.
