I got my ultimate rebuild kit from isavetractors with a .030” over piston and picked the block up from the machine shop today. Can’t wait to get er back together!

Make sure that block is nice and clean before you start! I’m sure the machine shop hot tanked it and all that, but that alone won’t get it quite clean enough.

Have fun

I’ll clean it up in a bucket of dawn and hot water. They told me they put it through a block washing machine. Kinda like a dishwasher but for engine blocks. Nonetheless, I’ll do the hot soapy water method followed by a dousing of WD40. My oldest son races dirt oval karts so I have to budget my time accordingly. Dirt is for racing, asphalt is for getting to the racetrack!

Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. For me anyway half the fun is just
standing there taking it all in. It's quite an education.

Static time the engine while you have it out and can still see the timing marks on the flywheel.
Only way to go.

I painted the “S” mark on the flywheel with a paint pen. When you say “static time”, do you mean using a voltmeter and listening for the beep when the timing mark comes into view through the window of the blower housing?

That is an excellent post, I appreciate that. The hardware store where I live is closed on Sunday, so I’ll get new grade 8 head bolts tomorrow. I used a granite block and sandpaper to true my cylinder head. Took what seemed an eternity, but I got it true and flat. Do I need to polarize my generator and voltage regulator again?

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.
