I had a Mag 20 do the same thing. I shot some Kroil on it and used some needle nose pliers to free it up. It worked great after that. I did that with just removing the valve covers. You probably should have done a leak down test first.

I know, live and learn right! I guess that's why hindsight is always 20/20.

I rebuilt my M18 2 years ago. New rings, gaskets, and lapped valves. Reused my pistons. I used a cylinder hone to clean up the cylinder walls. Definitely worth the time and effort. Since you have it apart you have a great start. Since the rebuild it runs great lots of power no smoke no oil consumption.

I left the bottom end alone and did not split the case - end play seemed okay. I did replace the crank shaft end seals. Be careful getting the old ones out. I nicked the crank and had to use a speedy sleeve to repair it.

Yep not splitting the case, and definitely replacing the front and rear seals. The flywheel side was definitely seeping, not neglecting those that's for sure!

One other thing to look at are the pressurized oil lines leading the the remote oil filter base. Mine were a bit ratty looking and I think I had close to 1500 hours on the meter so I opted to replace mine. They were not cheap or easy to find. I know some have had new ones built at a hydraulic hose shop rather than track down OEM parts.

Those "oil lines" handle less than 50 PSIG of pressure. I made some from Copper Tubing with NO problem(s).

Are you implying that there is a use for copper tubing that does not require yeast and sugar? LOL

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.
