J-Mech knows his stuff and is right, you have to split the motor to get to the governor. NOT worth it imho. Unless I was doing a full motor rebuild/refurb, splitting it to fix a governor that may or may not ever explode is more time/money/effort/work than it's worth.

Here is what I posted several years ago:
Kohler service bulletin #246 dated 4/98 describes procedure for pinning governor shaft for M18, M20, MV16-20, KT17, and KT19, requiring one 1/8 X 3/4 inch roll pin.

or you can google it.

Ok, well you said camshaft pin, not governor. So.... I kinda didn't read it the way it was written.

I know it's a SB, but I don't think that's a very good "fix". It was a Kohler "band aid" at best. I think Mike was getting at putting a pin in front of the shaft like we do on the "killer dowel pin" on the first gen Cummins 5.9's. I really don't think it's anything to worry about. I've seen more motors in the block for a broken rod, than with a punched hole at the governor. Not saying it can't happen....... But I'm not going to the trouble on any of mine.

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.
