Hey guys, maybe you can help explain something to me.

I've got a K301AS out of a Cub Cadet 122. S/N C003586, Spec 4759B.

I had to turn the crank down .010 and had to get a new connecting rod. My research on partstree.com and Kohler Engines says I need P/N 47 067 10-S. I ordered a new one from NAPA.

When it came, I installed it and decided to give it a crank by hand to make sure all was well and found it was not. The I-beam of the connecting rod is much wider by the crankshaft, and beats against the cylinder wall.

I have since ordered three more connecting rods, each time from Kohler. Twice from NAPA, once from Carquest, and once from John Deere. (The nearest CC dealer is a way's away.) Each time, the box from Kohler is labeled "47 067 10-S" and the part inside is "47 059 07".

I know y'all will want pictures, but the tractor is at my parents' house at home. Hopefully I can get some pictures tomorrow when I'm there.

Anybody else run across this problem? What'd you do? I'm almost afraid to order anything from anyone now, in fear of getting this larger rod again and not being able to return it.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
