Well I went for it and got it totally torn down to the block. The cylinder bores look good, there's even still some crosshatch in there and they feel good. No lips or anything. There is a little bit of wiggle to the pistons in the bore when I push hard on the sides. Is that normal? Everything else looks good.

Hour meter has just over 1000 hours. I'm not the original owner so I don't know if it's the original motor or the history of it.

I'm reading up on this. It's very slight movement, and I think this is normal. I don't have anything to measure bore size or anything.

I was just wondering how long the cross hatch lasts on the cylinder walls.

Richard I have a ch20 apart that has about 1500 hrs on it and can see just a little crosshatch on the walls so they can last a long time.

I read somewhere that the cylinders are so hard that most of the time a rebuild is just pistons and rings because they wear out before the cylinder wall.

I made some progress today on degreasing this thing. I got most of the loose stuff off and now it's cleaned down to the baked on stuff. I guess I'll have to hit it with a toothbrush to make it sparkle.

Consider pulling the starter apart to clean, check and lube. Check brushes.

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.
