K series block...
I was wondering if anyone has resurfaced a series block themselves.? I wasn't planning to build this engine but I ended up looking into it and found that it was in good shape inside. The piston and rod were shot from overheating, I assume from low oil and the #30 carb on it. I already have the parts that were ordered for another engine that has an egg cylinder. I've found with this new engine that the cylinder deck isn't flat. I know that the head will clear this rise but I'd like to flatten the deck. The local machine shop quoted me $225 to surface it. I really don't think I want to spend that on just surfacing the block. So has anyone done this at home with just the basic tools? If so how and what did you do and use?

Really, $225 to surface it?

I do agree that $225.00 is a lot of money for a half hour job. Maybe that shop is geared more toward a different type of work, or they have enough business in the kind of work that they normally do, that setting up and then doing the job is (and I mean this in the kindest sense) more trouble for them than it is really worth.
Just because one shop wants a ton of money to do the work doesn't mean that another shop wouldn't gladly take the job for a more reasonable price. I'd try shopping around a little. On the other side of the coin... Even IF you already have a suitable existing building, go buy your own vertical mill, get a good 3 phase converter, get everything wired, buy a DRO, 3 power feeds, a vice, an indexing fixture, a chuck, then start buying tooling and set up equipment. THEN make your money back. Luckily, you can get your lathe set up and running for about half the cost of the mill and related items.

With a half decent milling machine that job shouldn't be too bad.. I'd shop around a bit... I have a friend that loves to play with his mill.. He would probably do it for free just to have a project! too bad you aren't closer to me.
I wouldn't attempt it without the proper tools or machinery.. Good luck!

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.
