Default Gaskets

I am going to freshen up a KT-17 Series II.

I am looking at Gasket Sets. I am seeing prices from $17.00 to the OEM of $140.00.

What is your experience? Something of good value ?? Something to stay away from ??

When I rebuilt my K241, gaskets were pretty much the only parts I didn’t go OEM on. I bought a kit from iSaveTractors. Worked/works great.

I would stick with OEM head gaskets at the very least. They have a fire ring. With the other gaskets, you can get away with aftermarket.

Good point, I didn’t mention that I did buy an OEM head gasket for that very reason.

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.
