K321 Engine Rebuilder?
Does anyone know of a midwest shop that will rebuild my stock K321? I can find shops that will do the machining but none that will do a rebuild, start to finish. Yes, I could probably do it myself, but I’d rather not…

This guy provides an all ready to go re-manufactured engine and requires you to provide a good core block.
Don't know if he is mid-west enough for you but if you have deep pockets, take a look.... https://shop.kustomlawnandgarden.com/

I would personally take a hard pass on Kustom Lawn. They don't
answer the phones because they would have to answer for the way they do business. As far a core goes they stole mine, never paid me and refused to acknowledge my existence. Ken

I'm told by the business across the street that the owner is again battling some health issues.
Based on both his website and conversations I've had with him, he's had some lengthy health issues in the recent past couple of years. Apparently, a number of people have been contacting the business across the road - all searching for the parts they've ordered. I'd love to find a place that will actually rebuild my K321 as I don't have the the time or inclination to bite off this project.

What was once a common thing, having an engine machined has
become a serious battle. My last 3 experiences at 3 different places. Local shop ruined a 321 block I gave them to rebore. Kustom stole my core. An built me a pretty substandard engine. I now have the ruined 321 in a shop 100 miles away waiting to be sleeved. It's been there for over a year. I am toying with buying a Kohler block to replace a kohler 22 horse with a cracked block.. I keep stalling for the mere fact I can find no one who I can even feel good about working with. It has become the biggest battle in this hobby. Please don't hesitate to let us all know if you find the diamond in the rough. I know none of that helps you solve your problem, sorry. Just venting. Ken

Always take it to an engine rebuild shop, and they still exist. Regular machine shops are generally not equipped nor do they have the experience in engine rebuilding. Ask around on race, hot rod or vintage auto sites or clubs.

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.
