KT17 Piston
I have a kt17 that I just tore apart hoping to just put in rings and re-seat the valves. When I pulled the pistons this is what I found. Both pistons have the same gouges in them just in that small area. The cylinder walls are in good shape with no scratches or scuffs and within specs. I am trying to figure out where these gouges came from. I was going to replace the pistons until I seen the cost of them. I can't afford new ones and was wondering if I could put new rings on and use these. There is no other damage to the piston. I know it is probably not a good idea but my options are limited. The motor ran decent but did smoke. There was also oil blowing up through the breather tube into the air cleaner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Earl

They are from overheating on too lean a gas mix. (Carb set too lean.) Pretty common. If you are just going to re-ring and not overhaul, they will last as long as the job your doing. In other words, if your not going to bore and replace all parts, the cost of the pistons isn't worth it.

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.
