Kohler K241 crank shaft back lash
Hello, I am assembling my 10 hp, I had it bored .010 over. as I was installing the crankshaft I could not seem to get an acceptable free play movement. One new bearing USA made and it is the same thickness, 905. I measured all the old parts and new, however I need .050. [three gaskets] to gain .006 free play. It is more than what came out? original gasket was .020. I did not check the free play prior to removal. I do not know if it was tight from the factory? The last engine I did only required [one gasket].030. It is the same crank, same block, same bearing measurements..I removed the bearings several times, it is very clean no signs of dirt or debris. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

You will be OK using 3 gaskets. I just rebuilt a K301 and ended up using 3 of the 3 thin white gaskets to get .007 end play on the crank. I installed new bearings installed as well. Never measured the old gasket so I had no comparison.
J-Mech the gaskets he is referring to sit behind the aluminum plate on the flywheel side of the engine.

Are you measuring crankshaft end play the way the Kohler manual shows or just measuring the the old gaskets?

k 241 end play
Thanks for the response. I am talking about end play for the crank shaft. I am using a dial indicator at the end of the crankshaft. the book calls for .002 to .020. end play. It also mentions to start with the black gasket in the pack. my new gaskets measure .030 [black] and .010 [white]. I ended up using one black and two white for a total of .050. The bearings are Bower USA. the last one I did, I used aftermarket bearings and maybe two gaskets. Also I will mention the last engine I did a shop put it together for a friend of mine. no end play and it took the bearings out. So he brought it to me, when I took it apart only one gasket was used and it was obvious it needed more. the roller bearings were wiped out. you could shake the crank shaft.

Ok, I got you now. As with any bearing load adjustment..... Sometimes it just takes more shims. As long as the bearings are bottomed out on the flange, and you don't see anything else wrong, if it takes alot of shims, then it just does. Whatever it takes to put it in spec. Bower is a good bearing BTW.

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.
