Default K341 Rebuild any tips, tricks to make it better
I just have acquired a 1650 and the motor needs be rebuilt, I am looking for any upgrades people have done that work and don't sacrifice reliability. This will have to still blow snow and mow, I am sure it's like everything else how fast you want to go depends on how much money you have.

I am committed on rebuilding it and doing it right but if you are rebuilding the motor and get a little more out of it power wise one way or another why not?

I have found it a good practice (don't ask how I know) that even if the Aluminum Connecting Rod looks good.......REPLACE IT.

Other than the obvious parts that are worn or broken, the rebuild it straight forward.

Replace the governor and cross shaft and brass nut for the cross shaft. If the engine has balance gears, either replace the bearings and stub shafts, or just leave them out.

Thanks for the info and there is a ton of it, time to do the reading and figure out if it's going to be mild or wild one thing I do know it won't be stock.

Why not stock? They are torque freaks to begin with and last 30+ years between rebuilds with proper maintenance. Am I missing something?

You only need two things in life...duct tape and WD-40

If it's stuck and needs loosening, use the WD-40.

If it's loose and it's suppose to be stuck, use the duct tape.

Exactly. Go 'wild' and you will sacrifice reliability.

I can sympathetic to that thought I have old rifles that have history behind them and would not dream of modifying them. I am looking for improvements that will enhance power that are easy to do while rebuilding the engine, and getting tips to replace items that one may overlook while rebuilding the engine.

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.
