1864 - Valve Cover Failure - 18HP Kohler
Fixing a few things on my new 1864 and found this odd one. The LH valve cover weeped oil thru a crack that was hard to see. (Where screwdriver points) Really found it when I was refilling the oil during an oil change. Ordered the Kohler kit and the cover & the gasket are very different then the original. Must have had troubles with the original design. I could have ordered a billet cover for $160 but that is almost what I paid for the tractor!!
The RH looks OK but the instructions in the kit references both sides so I will keep an eye on it.

Yeah, $160 is crazy expensive for such a thing. Given that it's not under any pressure, some automotive RTV applied from the inside.

A good cleaning. A little sealant as Jbrewer mentioned and back on the
road ya go. When you think about the original design, even if it was not perfect that's OK. Look how long it worked and is still working. We don't have to play these parts peoples games, not on things like this anyway.  Ken

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.
