Sorry to be the one to have to tell you this but... Pretty sure removing the engine is the least of your worries, not only does the engine need to be removed but it will also need to be disassembled. If I'm not mistaken, the governor cross shaft is the first part that goes in when rebuilding an engine.

I think I have heard others say that it may be possible to put the cross shaft in/out without taking the crank, piston and cam out but that isn't the general practice.

Whatever you do, don't run it without a working governor. I have a 12 HP Kohler on the bench right now that someone ran with a broken governor... melted the rod right to the crank.

In the process rebuilding a k341 the governor cross shaft is one of the first steps in the rebuild process and the last in teardown.

There is less than 2hrs on the newly rebuilt engine.
The cross shaft and govener gear were new.

Does the cross shaft spin around and around if you remove the external "arm"?
If it does, it isn't a good thing.
The cross shaft was the first thing I put in my K301, so I'd agree with the others. The only way in or out is through the bottom of the engine, and I think you're going to have to remove the crank and cam to get to it.

However, on the K301, there is a big welch plug on the side of the engine. Maybe someone knows if that's a path that can be used?

Good luck and sorry to hear of your misfortune.

Unhappy

yes the cross shaft spins round and round.
I am going to open it up to see what happened.
dont know if it was just a faulty cross shaft or did the govener gear
cause the tab to break off the shaft.

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.
