Looks like one head bolt, still in it.

Are you trying to do this in the tractor with the tin work still in place? Why do you have the top of the carb removed? Did you do a compression test? If so what were the results?

I had cleaned the carb. First and hadn't put it back together yet. And, yes. I don't have a garage, and don't want to take too much space up in this one, as it's not mine. I may have to just pull it out. I can't get the rear shield/tin? Off. On compression, I didn't have the tools, but when I started to examine head there was visible seepage.

I found a vanguard manual, looks like it only has the 4 head bolts. I'm pretty green, on anything after the basics. Im moving slow, just trying to learn and not screw it all up.

Well you need to remove the blower housing in order to get at the intake manifold bolts. That has to come off because it's bolted to the heads. That's probably why you can't get the head off.

Thanks, Sam. I'm beginning to think I'm one of those folks who shouldn't own tools. Got the heads off. Anything look strange to anyone, or do I just clean and start replacing gaskets/reassembling.

Case dealer has head gaskets for $15 each. Is that good?

Exactly what I expected. It has been over heated because of the buildup on the cooling fins. Get us the numbers off the tag on the engine and I'll look up the parts for you. They have a couple different head gaskets all depend on the engine numbers. Last set I bought were about $6.00 each but they do run upwards of $16.00.

Edit: Hope you pulled the engine because if one head looks like that the other one is probably just as nasty.

Yeah, it's filthy! I believe the number on the engine is K-517004. Mower- model # 142-653-100. Serial # 823808. Thanks! You guys have no idea how much you have been helping me.

Engine will have a tag on it and it should have a number something like this.

351447-1180-A1 this is just an example of a Vanguard number.

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.
