Default K301 - Is this normal?
Hey Guys, I'm working on a K301 and I just noticed something I've never seen before. I've been inside several Kohler engines and don't remember seeing this before. There's a hole between the valves and the governor gear. Anyone ever seen this before?

That is how the crankcase is vented and also allows lube into/out of the valve spring area.

Seems there's no consensus on this. I don't know, maybe I've just never noticed it before. I guess at some point I'll have to pop open one of my other 12 hp cubs and see if it has the same hole.

Thanks guys.

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.
