The motor HAS to be connected to a motor stand or the tractor frame before I will start it. Motors will move around on a workbench when they are running. Try catching a running motor as it falls off your workbench. Hopefully the hot muffler, gas or a rotating shaft doesn't hurt you.

To Me there is no such thing as a dumb question-the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

Get a correct Kohler manual if you are working on a Kohler motor.
Get a correct Cub Cadet manual if you are doing work to your Cub.
