Ok Firephight....
Here's the deal. You asked a question. We gave answers. We don't allow Mr. Millers info on our site.... so, like or not that's the deal. If you don't care for our answers, then feel free to seek your info elsewhere. We don't need lectured. Believe me, the guys who gave you answers are "in the know".

Is the pulling dead pull or using a pulling sled?

I would build a good running K241. Build some adjustability in your puller. Keep a log of every track you pull at. A few things I would keep track of are track surface, where you weight is placed and rear tire pressure.

Change 1 thing at a time when you make any changes.

Merk I am done commenting on this tread all I did was ask a question and get ridiculed from the senior members about a person they don't like. I don't know him or his personal business all I did was wanted some answers about building a 10hp with a 12hp crank and rod engine.




And you are correct kirk engine was a 301 build not a 241.

Just looked at this thread, I don't see that anyone ridiculed you.

I suggest that you tone it down a bit.

Check out his web site: wwwkirkengines.com . He has a few nice build ups. I have a K241 that I built the same way as the original Killer Kohler build. I wasn't able to use my high compression head because of valve clearance issues. I use a head that has the spark plug over the exhaust valve. I am very happy with the mods that were done.

I've done a few. its not legal around here anywhere so its not very common. if you have ever built any kind of engine he posted all the info you need . not hard to figure out. if you can't figure it out from there call him .

grey area. around here they measure bore and stroke so you can't build an engine like that in
"grey area" if I could I'd put a 3.25 or 3.5 crank in one, find an early sand cast K241 block and bore to 3 9/16. those blocks are very hard to find but do exist

Don,
Just curious, how do you tell if it is an early sand cast k241 block that can be bored out larger?
Thanks,
Mike

the early K241 that don't have the K301 cast in the block. they also have a seam in the intake port. not all are thick enough. you have to measure them. between the fins

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.
