K301 for sale?
Hello I’m new to the forum. I have a IH Cub Cadet 125 that needs an engine overhaul. It burns oil so bad that it fouls the plug. I don’t have the tooling, knowledge or experience to rebuild my engine. I would have to take the bare block to a machine shop. I would rather buy a short block K301 for my 125 to keep it original. I’ve seen predator swaps but I just can’t do that to my Cub. Thanks in advance. Jay.

The problem with a used short block is the unknown condition it is in, unless you've seen the engine running and ran a compression test yourself it will always be a question mark and you could find yourself in the same position in the near future. I think it would be best to have an experienced hand inspect and rebuild it for you, not only will you keep your original engine but you'll know it should be good for another 30 years. If you feel comfortable removing and reinstalling everything but the flywheel and cylinder head you'll save yourself a few bucks that way.
Just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth.

You make a good point. Hopefully, a fresh K301 will come up for sale from one of the experienced members here.

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.
