The IH dealer dad worked for was also a Kohler dealer, they got to see too many of the exploding KT engines. The time Kohler would allow to completely tear an engine down to fix it under warranty was not near enough so they had to eat a bunch of the labor bill. One of their biggest gripes was the sheet metal. One particular engine that kept showing up with the guts tore up was on a 2 blade concrete finisher that you rode. After the second or third time they figured out the owner was over revving the engine. They set it at the proper speed and marked/documented every screw and linkage on the machine. Told the guy if he ever brought it back he'd have to pay up front, no more warranties. They never heard from him again. As for the Kohler rep, he heard more than an earful about their warranty policies from the dealerships owner.

Sent the engine off today with a local welder, fabricator, machinist, and he figured it wouldn't be a problem fixing.
Find out next week.

Got the engine back today. Right back to factory specs. Shure isn't a lot of materiel between the outside and the bolt hole though. Top mount isn't any better, should be ok with both nuts tight now
Also got the mounting shoulder bolt nut welded back in seeing the engine is out.

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.
