Hey guys,
My new 169 has a stuck engine, it had plenty of oil in it, drained it out, no shavings or metal chunks, pulled the head, piston is down about an inch, cylinder looks good, no scoring, intake valve is all the way up and not stuck, exhaust valve is closed, tried turning the engine over with no luck, it's tight! Could the piston really be holding it this tight? If it isn't broken inside I'm thinking pull the rod cap and inspect everything and move rod out of the way and hit the piston down? I'll be pulling it out soon, thanks for any suggestions. |

Spray around the piston with pb blaster and let it soak,

Pulled it apart, disconnected the rod, nothing broken or scored, crank is not moving, looks like it's time to come out and replace the bearings.

you should pull the flywheel off and see it there is something stuck behind it,if you hadn't already done so

I was wondering if it had balance gears in it?

Heard a story once (true) about a guy who had a motor lock up on an S-10 pickup. Undaunted, he tore it all down. About halfway though, he realized the motor wasn't stuck. He went ahead and tore it down and rebuilt it. Upon reassembly, he put it all back together, went to start it and it wouldn't turn over. Ended up removing the belt and found the alternator bearings seized tight.
Storal of the morey, check the obvious before you tear it down.... oops. Too late for that. |

Like the OP, I pulled the head, then the pan. Then my light bulb came on. A little cleanup and the engine purrs like a new one. |

Yes it has balance gears, I know better to check the obvious, I did, checked the starter bearing, it's fine, cleaned out the mouse nest, I will be pulling the flywheel.

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.
