Most ppl are told to leave them out because when they go bad they tend to put a big fat window in the block, nobody wants that.
That said, some ppl replace the needle bearings/shafts that are worn and don't intend to run them over recommended rpm's, so they would be safe to use them. A lot of ppl can't tell the difference with them in or out, others do see a difference but most agree it is not a big difference. and IIRR the 16 hp don't come with them. So it is your call. You can't go wrong leaving them out, as no window effect will present itself.

After I am finished with this restoration project i highly doubt ill be doing anything heavy with this tractor mainly just for shows. But if there is not much difference with or without them i think im just going to go ahead and leave them out. Thank you both for your help.

I would leave them out. All they are is a hand grenade waiting to explode. I took them out of my k321.

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.

The first thing I do, when tearing down a K-series that has grenade gears is throw them in the scrap bucket.
