Default Head studs
This k241 in a 104 I just bought has bolts holding the head down whereas my k301 in my 129 has studs. Should the k241 have studs? I know on the race cars we always did studs.

I don't think it matters, I have two 125's with the K301 engine. One has all bolts, the other has 5 studs and 4 bolts. I also have a 105 with a K241 that has all bolts.
They all seem to run ok.

Unless your building the motor up for pulling, it makes no difference. Some have more studs than others. Bolts will hold fine. If they are the factory stud type, the threads are the same coarse thread on the studs and the bolts.... so no benefit.

On Narrow Frame models, I'm pretty sure they used studs in the three holes that hold the gas tank bracket on, and one in the hole where the lifting bracket goes, the rest were bolts.

That was one reason I was asking, Mark-it seems like a PITA to remove the tank. Lifting bracket is AWOL.

On the 125 I have, there are studs in the three holes that hold the gas tank bracket on and two studs that hold the heat shield for the muffler.

That's probably closer to being right than what I said earlier.

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.
