Are you sure you have a k341? There should be 10 head bolts.

Well, heck. That hadn’t even occurred to me. I mean, it is a 1650. So a k341 is what it came with, right? I suppose it is possible that the motor has been replaced at some point in the tractor’s life. I will see if i can get a good look at things soon. Hopefully i can get the carb cleaned good and get it running well, whatever the motor is. I bought this cub earlier this summer. It is my first cub and my first tractor. I still have a lot to learn.

The 1650 rolled out of the Factory with a Kohler K341AQS-71221 engine in it.

That engine used a Kohler Adjustable Carb 45-053-08 -----> Repl by: 45-853-12-S

I started doing a little disassembly to see how many headbolts there are. This is the first time I am doing any of this.

I have the motor cover moving freely, but i can’t move it out of the way. What else do I need to take apart to get a look? Obviously, I am trying to avoid taking apart more than necessary.

I’d like to post a photo, but can’t seem to do it. I figured you just click on the photo icon in the bar above the response box, but nothing happens when I do that.

For what it is worth, the motor cover has a sticker on it that says Kohler 16hp, but i suppose someone could have put that original cover back on a replacement motor.

In order to access the head bolts you need to remove the top tins on the engine.

Thanks, Finruskw. Any advice on what to do to get a good enough look to count the headbolts?

Actually, after looking a some Kohler engine photos, I think the part I am talking about is not the flywheel cover. I'm talking about the sheetmetal cover that the spark plug sticks through. This would be a lot easier if I could get a photo to post.

That's the one you need to remove.
Why bother, It's a PITA, unless of course you need to remove the head for some reason.
Just get the carb working right and see how/if it runs.

finsruskw, the only reason I want to remove that cover is to confirm this really is a 16hp motor, not a smaller engine that someone replaced the original with.

There should be a Model Tag attached to the Fan Shroud. Can you find that, and what is the model on that tag ??

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.
