Recently I pulled the engine out of the 1712, stripped it down to a 'short block', and took it in for a rebuild. I took it to a shop with MANY MANY years experience with engines, machining, tractors, racing go karts, race cars, and restoration of antique tractors and race cars....the same folks that rebuilt my 1450's engine, and folks that I have personally known for 33 years. Steve and George Myers at S-Tech in Cridersville, OH.
Friday I got a call that it was ready to be picked up, so yesterday I went and settled up, and brought it home. Today I started putting the bolt on parts back on, and getting ready to drop it back in. The KT17 Series II had 937 hours on it. The rings were shot...otherwise the jugs cleaned up with a light hone job!! The valves were ground and lapped in, and the only new parts that were required were the rings, the rest of the engine is still within spec, and tight! Here is to another 27 years of service from my CCC built, 1985 model year, model 1712 Cub Cadet

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.
