You need to brace that stack to one or more of the head bolts so that it doesn't break the exhaust port off of the block.

Hey Allen watch out!!! I think them two cubs behind the barn are talkin about you, paying too much attention to a sibling!! Could be a mutiny in your county.

People have broken them off in the past...the block is not strong in that area. Why go through all the time and expense rebuilding the engine and then risk destroying it by not bracing the muffler? It's easy and simple to do and will not change how it looks.

Allen I'd watch it that yellow will start to climb up your back if you sit on it too much!

Glad to see it up and running! Was it worth the wait?

I feel Matt is giving you some good advice and that's cheaper then a replacement block. It's your tractor so it's your call.

Default Stack and moment arms

I've always wondered about the effect of a muffler attached to a continually shaking engine at the end of a long lever . I believe I'd fashion a brace too. Shouldn't be hard.

I borrowed these pics from here and I can't give the correct credit for it, but it is NOT my idea. But it is a great brace set up. Just in case you feel the need to brace up the exhaust.

Allen,
You did a great job getting the governor gear replaced! I think the rebuild looks good, and freshening the engine will make it run cooler I think.
The gardens look more like spring. Your plowing looks like you have done that before. I would like to get a plow set up to try out too.
On the exhaust Well I took the advice from here and did brace my exhaust. Although I have not run the tractor with it yet to see how much it shakes or does not. I only have about 20 min on the rebuild. I do not have the experience with a stack on one of these Kohlers. This is my first time so I was being a little cautious. Plus I like to build stuff too. So it was part of the restoration. I fabed it this afternoon. I can say that I can rock the whole tractor with the exhaust pipe. I like you muffler I may have to do something with mine.
Regards,
Chris

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.
