Default LP head = how much HP?
I have a LP head that will fit on my 1450's K241AQS engine. My question is how much HP will I have total when I put the two together?

You still have around 10 Horse power. The better head to use on a daily worker is the one with the sparkplug over the exhaust valve.

Oops! i made an typo, its an K321 AQS, but realitivily i should have about 14hp even with the LP head. Now the head that you have mentioned is what kind and how does it effect the power output of these motors? Thanks Merk!

The LP may or may not work on your K321. Exhaust valve may hit the head due to the lack of clearance for valve.....bigger exhaust valve.

I like the head that has the sparkplug over the exhaust valve. The area between the valves on this head is not restrictive. The area on the LP head has some restrictiion. You do loose a little compression with the head that has sparkplug over the exhaust valve. It's not enough to notice in my book.

Power output depends on the condiation of the motor.

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.
