I would get Allen head socket cap screws instead of those slotted screws they used from the factory.

I cut some screws that I had that were the right thread and width with my screw cutter. They worked.
Why would you recommend allen head socket cap screws RustyShackleford?
Thanks for the help everyone!

They’re just easier to install since you can pop them onto the end of the Allen key instead of weeble wobbling the slotted screw into position. When I rebuilt my K241 I replaced all of the slotted screws with socket cap screws (points & points cover, etc.). Just makes life a little bit easier.

It is explained in a different thread I posted a couple hours ago, but I am also missing my engine shroud/gas tank screws… Thanks for the help everyone with this!

On my Onan and Koehlers I’ve used button headed screws, plus blue loctite . I like the way they stick in the Allen wrench . Less chance of dropping them into the carb.

What I do is get the correct size screw with a nut for it, run the nut up to head of screw, put a dab of JB Weld on screw and thread it into the carb, once it sets up run nut down screw to carb and cut off the head of screw with my Dremel Tool and clean up the threads with the nut. Use Nyloc nuts and never had an issue with anything vibrating loose.

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.
