Hey guys! Im New with CubCadets so i'll sure take any tricks I can get! My 126 I won at a Auction a few weeks back has a busted Rod, I've been reading how the rods keep cracking. Im sure some of it is the Cranks are egg shaped not nice n round. then Low or old Oil.
What type of Rod do the pullers use? I would like to find one that is Steel not Aluminum. I wish the Engine was like a Farmall Cubs. Thanks! |

I am not sure where you are reading that, but I don't think rods busting are very common with Kohlers. I have a half dozen cubs that are anywhere from 30 to 50 years old and only one has had a mechanical issue. Kohlers are pretty dang tough and built to last.
Start with getting manuals for your cub, most are all here and you could just download them. If you want paper we have sponsors right here on the sight that sell those as well. Do some reading and studying first to figure out what questions to ask, then fire away. Very friendly and knowledgeable people here. Randy

Looking at that eng, its not the right eng. When you rebuild it take them balance gears out or youll end up with positive ventalation in the block!

Theres realy nothing wrong with the ballance gears, except the wear and ome off the shaft and threw your block. They started putting them in around the time of the 108 149 or wide frame tractors. On the 12 hp you can pull them out with out tearing the eng down, your case.... well you you know your going o rebuild it any way. The balance gear looks like its broke in half, but its made that way. Ive had guys tell me that their eng needs rebuilt cause it was knocking like heck, I pull the pan, wiggle the ballance gears, pull them out chec the rod cap, slap it back togeather and no more knock.
Ive run the 14 hp up to 4500 rpms wih no problem and no balacne gears. I dont see anymore vibration with or with out. Im sure the engineers have a reason for them being in there, I still take them out and on eng rebuilds, I dont reinstal them for people. Youll see my finger pointing to the balance gear. That is the only reason I said its the wrong eng, now it could have been replaced with the black eng, lots of 12 were dont that way as they had problems, Ive heard. I dont know if I have a pic of what the corect eng should look like, but eather way as long as it runs works and your happy with it, I am too. See I spend most of my time running from the corect police !!!!!!!!!!!! |

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.
