Aftermarket .020 over rods?
i got a rod off ebay for my defunct K341. it is an aftermarket .020 rod that is marked Saint Bird. it is not as beefy in the beam and weighs in at a full ounce lighter than my old rod. it also has bolts with lock washers, compared to the posi lock bolts. it says to torque to 260 in/lbs in the printout with the rod. have any of you used these in a 16hp engine? i don't think i feel comfortable using a lighter rod in the engine. granted my old rod split in 2 from not oil and i don't know what happened to my .010 over rod (suspected bad clearance on machine work). so my other choice would be to get a standard kohler rod and get it machined for a bearing. is there anything i need to know about using a rod with a bearing in it?

PPl have decent luck with the aftermarket rods-
But I don't think the quality is as good as Kohler OE rod. You can machine a standard or 010 rod for a 020 insert. I think the pullers all use inserts. Not a big deal other than it cost a bit more. What piston are you using? I think Kohler has substituted the K301-321 rods now for the K341, so you might need to find a NOS one. Michael

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.
