Kohler M18/20 broken rods, which side?
Okay just curious. My first broken rod Kohler KT17 was on the starter side cylinder. Next M18 also broke the starter side rod. I picked up a 2072 with a broken M20, then bought a M20 for the block. Both motors have broken starter side rods. That's 4 for 4 on that side, is that the norm or just my luck. Not sure how to add the poll feature to this post. I guess the options for the poll would be. Starter side cylinder/rod, ignition side cylinder/rod and both. Just for the Kohler M-series.

in the 80s when I was in High school I remember the local Deere dealer donating about 10 KT17s that were all blown up. Back then I had no idea about "series I/series II" and I cannot remember which side was blown; but the teacher had the idea of combining a few to come up with some "good" engines, but all had the same side blown; that was 30 years ago but as I remember he took a couple of blocks down to the weld shop and the welding teacher welded up a couple of the "not as badly" blown block halves, and last I knew, the teacher was able to get 1 engine going that year and was going to go thru them all to see if he could salvage any more of them....

I just come in to rest from working on a 1810. I am pulling parts from a blown engine. Broken starter side rod. Have not got that far but the piston does not move so I bet that is the problem.

The M20 from my 2072 had a cracked and repaired (poorly), block from a rod failure on the starter side when I purchased it. The repair was so bad the starter wouldn't fit the block correctly. While looking for a replacement block, I passed on two others that had starter side failure repairs. Finally found a good one!

Just a FWIW,
The blocks are die cast and mating surfaces are machined,and dowel pins installed. Then they are line bored for the crank and cam. Swapping a crankcase half from one engine to another, presents a bore alignment problem.

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.
