ok thanks aarolar ,, I see it in the manual now FIG 12-37 pg 129

my new piston doesnt have a arrow on it to face the flywheel side.

also the rod is tight on the crank, on half of it. turn it buy hand and I can feal it get tighter on the crank. only turned it till it was tight then stoped. dont want to scratch the crank. its odd there is not any rod bearings..
Im going to take it to my engine builder and see what he thinks.

I agree ( as the manual states ).

The reasoning behind that is so oil gets flung into the hole. Failure to install the correct way will cause failure.


Doug,
Before you you take the engine to your engine builder, verify the cap was installed the correct way.

Jeff

Here's the ring compresser I used, it worked great.

Should be a mark on the rod and cap correct?

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.
