Mowed the lawn yesterday and the engine wasn't running right. Acted like a dirty carb, so today I removed the carb and cleaned it. Put it back on and started her up to adjust the main and and idle jets. She was running like a top, when all of a sudden, she started losing rpm and sounding like she was working hard, then, in a matter of a couple seconds, before I realized what was happening, I heard a loud clatter, and started seeing smoke from under the cooling metal near one cylinder. Funny, though, then it quit clattering and started running again well, although I could hear that something was loose in the engine. I could see some fresh oil leaking from the right cylinder somewhere.
Haven't had time to take it down and see just how bad it is. Started looking for a rebuilt or used engine on the Internet. Man alive! I had no idea a replacement engine was going to cost so much! Now I'm trying to decide whether to just part the thing out and go buy another one. Guess I need to get my 1650 finished pretty quick!

Sorry Tony....OUCH! I blew my belt on my deck and thought that I had a bad day on my 782....Maybe you can part your engine and defer the cost of another one or else save some $$ by justing getting the parts that you need. All the best wishes on a fast repair!

http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=17197 Mine is a series II KT17. So I decided to rebuild it. It has been a learning experience. If I were to do it again, I would have welded up my original block, bought used rods, new pistons and rings. I would be up and running again. If you can learn from my mistakes, feel free to ask! ![]()

If it were me, I'd either rebuild it...or find a used M18.

I know this will sound Shade Tree but - Had a friend with hole in the side of his block and not the source or finances to have welded. JB welded a patch over the hole and still no leaks 10 years later.

Yes, that can be done. We used to have a Farmall M with an IH 400 block that my grandfather rebuilt years ago...the original Farmall M engine was hurt to much to rebuild, and he found a 400 block with a crack in the side for cheap...so he JB welded the crack, and rebuilt it. It worked fine, but would seep just a little bit every now and then when it would get hot.

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.
