Okay! Now that winter has set in, it is time to tear into the Cub! I'm hoping to get the engine pulled out this evening so I can replace the shaft seal. Since I'll have all that apart, I suppose I'll do the cradle mount modification. Would you guys recommend pulling the oil pan off my Kohler K341 and bolting it to the rails to do the weld-up? I imagine this isn't possible to do with the entire engine. What am I getting into in removing the oil pan? Do I just need to purchase a new gasket and put it back together?
Once I get the seal figured out, I hope to track down the leak coming from the hydro and fix up the trunion plate. If I can fix all of those things, this little Cub will be in great shape!
