Default K-301 Engine Block

Just purchased a 126 as a restoration project for my daughter and I. Previous owner said it had some blow-by and would push the dipstick out. Was unable to hear it run but turned it over by hand to make sure it was free and there was no major rattles. So I bought it expecting to do a re-build.

Well got it home and starting digging into it and found the block cracked just under the cam cover. Got the pan off and the counter balance gears let loose and went through the side. Frustrated for being mis-led by previous owner but that is a separate issue. Now what to do next. Are the K301a engines/blocks easy to come by? If so what should I expect to spend on one? Any good sources you guys could recommend? I need to make a decision whether to part out the tractor or rebuild.

Thanks,
Ryan

I've got a block we could do for that, it came out of a 126 too. PM me if interested. I'm running a 16hp in a puller that had a bad fracture in that area, has been welded and epoxyed with Devcon runnin strong. Mike

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.
