Default Need size of air cleaner screws, help?
I lost the 4 screws that install the air cleaner assembly to the carburetor on my IH Cub Cadet 70 Kohler K161 7hp. If anyone knows the exact size I would like to know it. I’ll need to buy new ones from Ace Hardware or it would be cool if I could find the real Cub Cadet Kohler ones on eBay or something… Any help is appreciated.

Your picture is too dark for clarification.

The two Air Cleaner screws are: Screw, 8-32 X 3/8 Rd Hd Mach w/Lock Washers.

Ok, thanks, so these will work? Obviously I wouldn’t buy 100, I would try to get individuals from Ace or Menards.

When you go to Ace Hardware to get the two little screws and lock washers like Roland said, get two extra. Put them in a container of your choice, labeled in with your Cub stuff. Don't ask how I know this.

You don't need any screws for the side holes.

Ironman, you must have a slightly different air cleaner holder than me. Here’s a pic of mine. It mounts using a bracket you don’t have and 2 screws.

By the way, the paint job on that engine looks awesome!

on my IH Cub Cadet 70 Kohler K161
There is a way to tell 100% for sure. What is the Kohler "spec" number on that engine?? It will start with the number 28xxx.

The picture of the Air Cleaner base does NOT appear to be Cub Cadet.

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.
