PULLERS got a Kohler LP head question
I just found out the 10HP engine I have has the #235461 high compression head on it. I was thinking about selling it but then the "man I bet I could build a hot engine" bug bit me. I dont pull but thought I might put this head on the 12hp in the 105 my daughter and I are building. Many Google searches only confused me. Question is this. Is there noticeable gains in power by using this head? Do I have to switch to high octane fuel as some people are saying? I just though it would be cool to build a yard tractor with a mildly hopped up engine for fun.

They do increase the performance but I think most pullers myself included prefer to mill down a regular head .050 .

Lp Head
I have used the LP Head, But I like the head with the spark plug over the exhaust valve, helps to keep the plug from fouling out too.I agree with Austin8214, my .02

I know i've read where people think the small combustion chamber kills the air flow.

Thanks for the answers guys!!
I actually just found out mine is the second generation 235461 head so its not a true LP. Im not a puller I just thought it would be cool to have a "built" engine with a mild cam in one of my Cubs. Ive been reading up on building engines but alot of it is over my head.

Take that head to a local machine shop and have them take .040 off of it. Then see if you can find a good used 18hp cam and a good carter carb and you'll have a mean mowing machine!

dsmithjr I run a milled lp head on my 10hp puller. Can't say that there is any difference with it being miled, but it does compete with most 12hp tractors. I run 110 octane fuel. Maybe this helps!

CC102, what I want to do is build a yard tractor just for driving around the yard and playing with. I might pull my wagon or maybe go to a plow day. I just want it to run good and sound good. I would like to stick with "stock" parts. Example: use my head maybe milled, a larger cam out of a different engine and a larger stock carb. I know you pullers have a lot tips and tricks and can set me in the right direction. Keep it coming! CC102 ive got a 10hp engine I can use also what kinda set up can I use on it?

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.
