Default K181 k181 ??

Is a rod for a 7hp longer than an 8hp?
According to the id tag it should be a 7
Stoke measures 8.
Put it together and the piston sticks up from the block.
7hp kit.
All the parts were handed to me. Somebody else did the parts buying.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Looks like the original engine, which would be a K-161, spec number 28542-E

Terry, Yes the 7hp and 8hp rods are different. You have an 8hp if the piston sticks above the deck by about 1/4" using a 7hp conn rod.

My best guess is that a 8hp was put in but the old shroud was used.
Thanks for the help! It is appreciated

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.
