Default Size matters ---

Bigger is always better right? Thought you guys might get a kick out of a size comparison between the piston and wrist pin from a 14 hp Kohler K321 and the same from a 400 hp Cummins NTA-400 diesel. The Kohler is 3.5" bore, the 400 is 5.5" bore. I have the Cummins in the shop doing a complete overhaul and the Kohler parts were nearby. All that shiny aluminum makes for a nice six pack!

Yeah, it is. It is a solid billet of hardened steel and weighs about 3 pounds!

Pretty impressive but here's some info to go with the big difference in size.

Compression comparison

Kohler K321 ( flathead , gas)
K321/M14 (14hp) - 6.6:1, 7:1 or 9:1 (depending which head is used)

Cummins NTA-400 diesel ( turbo charged diesel )

13.9:1


That's why the big difference in wrist pin weight. Much more torque with a diesel than a flathead gas engine.

Did you ever see the metal lathe made out of those pistons?

Some guy sells a book detailing how to do it.

I think he has a drill press, and milling machine, also,, all made with the piston.
The wrist pin hole holds the bearings for the machines shaft,,,

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.
