Pulled the engine from my 1450. It was using some oil and running poorly, hunting, losing power and such. Pulled the head and didn't see anything to alarming. Cylinder wall looked pretty good and not an excessive amount of carbon build up. Isomounts were bad on right side but in pretty good shape on the left. What are points of emphasis to check out on these engines?

Well.... are you planning a rebuild? Or just checking it out?

Yes I'm going to tear it the rest of the way down and check it all over good. I own my own tractor repair shop, but this will be my first kohler rebuild and thought I would see what areas are generally the most troublesome in these engines so I didn't overlook anything. Thanks in advance!

Egg shaped crank journal and cylinder bore are the most overlooked. So, grind the crank, and bore the block. New rod, piston, rings, yadda yadda.... Just like any other motor.

Ok. I've heard alot about balance gears and governor gears causing problems, not sure if a 1450 had balance gears or not? The tag says its a K321AQS.

Yeah like Don said toss the balance gears. I have a k321 I took them out and didn't notice a difference after. They are a hand grenade waiting to explode is all they are.

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.
