Default New head bolts K241
Hi, I am in need of new head bolts I believe and can't seem to find any. I blew the head gasket on the 102 over the winter and got a new Kohler gasket and torqued it to 30 ft/lb and again after warm and in the correct sequence. Well it blew that gasket when I was plowing my mechanic buddies yard up for a new garden the other week and he said I should've gotten new head bolts. I want to get this buttoned up and sell it,Thanks

Your head is probably warped. Get it flattened out at a machine shop. Only costs 10 bucks to do at the shop I go to. Or you can do it yourself. I've never had to buy new bolts and I've don't hundreds of them over the years. Don't hold me to it, but I'm pretty sure they are not torque to yield lime most automotive head bolts.

Great thanks for quick replies. I'll take the head to machine shop when I get home. Lounging around hotel now down Spartanburg sc way. Hate to sell the thing but truck needs a new tappet cover and while I have whole front end tore apart gotta performance cam to slide in and some more air to shove down its throat, and the 102 is the least used tractor

They are just grade 8 bots. No, they are not torque to yield. Cubby102 is correct, you need to plane the head.

If you really want to put new bolts in it I don't see a issue with it. I have gotten them from the hardware store in the past. I'm sure someone that has done more engines then me will chime in. But I've used grade 5 bolts when I've had to replace broke. Or rusted bolts on the heads

Sounds like a Ford. I'd sell the truck instead.

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.
