I recieved the kit, and overall, the gaskets look great. You are right Matt, I would rather reuse old head gaskets that put those cheapies in....not that i will.

AJ-Thanks for the stud number. I was hoping someone had a less expensive alternative. I may check our local oddities shop, as they tend to have any type of nut, bolt, tool, bearing, etc a guy might need.


We decided to clean up the engine sheet metal rather than paint it. I took rubbing compound to the metal and WOW! it really cleaned up well. Other than scratches, and some yellow overspray from the PO, it looks perfect. I plan on spraying new black on the top of the engine to set it off perfectly.

Hopefully we start reassembly this weekend.

Thanks for all the help.

If they actually look like they do in the picture, you will notice the gasket has the fire ring around the cylinder part of the gasket. That is what you want too see. Most of the other aftermarket gaskets don't have that ring and that is why they fail so fast. Good find George.

Yep mine came as pictured,
I can't believe others make a sandwich style head gasket that is not crimped around the center or fire ring.
Old days a composition gasket has one side steel and the other side copper,and the” meat” was asbestos.

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.
