Too bad about the motor. Definitely looks like it’s worth fixing though.

At least they didn't claim it was a runner.

Yea, I knew it didn't run/turn when I bought ,but it looked to good to let them part it out, the 3 point and lift assist are almost worth what I paid so all is good !

Default update on 129

Well after the summer months went by and I got caught up with everything else I got around to disassembling the locked up K301 ! Looks like someone had a not too successful rebuilt in the not to distant past. Gaskets didn't look to used,balance gears were previously removed,rod bolts were slightly more than finger tight,bearing material was fused to the crank ( will need turned .010 ) as after cleaning already mic'd .0025/.003 under max wear allowed. ( perhaps this excess clearance was a contributing cause of the failure) ? dipper was broke off rod, block was bored .010 over and head gasket looked blown with head bolts kinda loose, ( likely didn't retorque ) this is the one they said it just seemed like it ran out of gas when mowing ! Likely with a bang ! couple pics or it didn't happen ! Engine stand bolts to the holes used for gen mtg bracket,still hanging on engine lift during pic. PS I know using the bar to drive off the PTO is living dangerously ,but I couldn't find any hardwood !

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.
