Default small amount of oil in engine breather
I took off the plate for the breather to find a small amount of oil saturating the bottom of it. Not sure if there should be any oil in there. The engine does not smoke or anything. The motor is a K301, I am also trying to take off the fan shroud without removing the motor. I am finally getting the cub tore down pretty good with little resistance. I just want to get this motor in shape before spring. Thanks for any help

Oil in the breather is normal, you will have to pull the engine to remove the shroud.

See, I figured that she had to come out. I don't think I can let that go. That cooling fan is probably nasty and needs cleaned. At least the oil in the breather is normal though. Thanks yall for the help.

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.
