K161 Engine Rebuild Progress Thread
A while ago I removed the engine from my IH Cub Cadet 70 for rebuild. Tonight, I started disassembly. Removed the cylinder head, oil pan, and a couple other things. I’m sure I’ll need lots of help throughout this process as it’s my first time. I’ll be using the ultimate kit from isavetractors.

For what it's worth. The joy of doing what you're doing is to take
the time to just look, explore and enjoy what was built. And enjoy putting it back together. Learning is always a good time. Ken

It is enjoyable and a bit tedious. And sometimes it doesn’t turn out. Complete rebuild on my 147 engine including sending the crankshaft off to be turned and still ended up with a knock that you can hear standing next to it but not with the stethoscope. I’m working on my 2nd originals k161 now. Busted connecting rod when I bought it. Waiting on a crankshaft and rod.

We’ve determined that this engine has not been rebuilt in the past. I’ll be ordering the rebuild kit this week or next.

The rebuild kit is here.
We are not certain as to how to remove this end of the engine(the flywheel and the shown cover and stuff). Can anyone give me some directions please? The videos I found online were either for slightly different motors or started too far into the rebuild… https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...pictureid=8390

Removal of the yellow flywheel cover is self explanatory after removing the retaining bolts
The nut in the center of the flywheel "cup" is right handed so removal with a socked allows the Aluminum drive cup/screen to come off with some prying, as it is doweled to the flywheel, be careful to remove it flat, trying to not cock it as damage to the cup dowel hole can occur. then use a flywheel puller to remove flywheel.

Thanks for the help Ol’Geoege. I am to the point where the flywheel and all that is off. Now it’s just the plate which I don’t know what the name for is. I took its bolts out, but then realized in an attempt to pull it off it moves the entire motor all the way to the other side if that makes any sense. I wanted to remove the other side, but the 3 screws that hold in the small pieces of metal don’t turn out. They just spin.

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.
