Default Almost destroyed my engine....

ALWAYS GET A GOOD QUALITY TORQUE WRENCH......... After my 2nd pull my motor started knocking. I was leading after the 2 round. Well the rain came and canceled the rest of the race.

Still won the event...

Removed the motor and took it apart and the rod bolts were loose. Maybe I forgot to tighten them. Should I put lock tite on the new rod bolts. (new rod)

I also have to replace the crankshaft.

Will a loose rod end cap cause a vibration in the motor? I had alot of vibrations the whole time. Also the power was lower than normal.. Will this cause lower amounts of power?

Just ordered a rod from midwest. I was able to save this crankshaft. I took it to a machine shop this morning and they turned it down .020 for me. They did it while I waited.


I also went ahead and ordered a new piston and rings. I just replaced the rings in it but kept the old piston a week ago. So i decided to order a new piston, rings, and piston pin while I am back in there. Motor has a fresh honing. Just 3 pulls old.

Would you use a little locktite on the rod bolts?

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.
