Same exact problem my 1450 had with the worn side of piston, is the Kohler weak spot. I think it's the way it pushes the piston up, or maybe the off balance, whatever it is it's the wear point on Kohler K series or the 14 HP anyway. I bet you get lucky, and the bore is perfect, only the aluminum piston being wore.

check rubber flex disk on the drive shaft, also if it's bad rusty, or you just want to do a nice upgrade that you will no longer have to worry with the drive shaft get some Stainless round or 4140 round stock 5/8" diameter, and you can build a nice drive shaft that will last forever. When the motor mounts go it puts undue stress on the rubber flex disk, my rubber flex disk (rag joints) were shot and my ISO mounts were in good shape

Gentlemen:

Waiting on engine parts, weather turning colder tomorrow,
decided to do a quick frame paint on the 1450 while i can still do it outside....cleaned and degreased the frame, sanded a few areas, used a rust converter, and taped a few things off.....





Two coats of mp170 epoxy...







cool thing about epoxy...its a wet on wet application...
let it flash, then two coats of white basecoat (cool vanilla, chrysler newer 300's off white....sorry...not a purist...









I'm giving the white base 30 minutes dry time...i'll tape it off, then spray the yellow....(dodge viper yellow...sorry again...just ain't a purist)....

I'd clean off that hydraulic cylinder rod before you use it again, or the paint will tear up the (non-replaceable) seal in the cylinder.

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.
