Default K161 question
so my question is what is the clunking sound coming from the engine and it's not a rod knock. Even if i spin it over slowly by hand at one certain spot there is a cu-lunk sound in one certain spot kinda like a mag camming over.......What is it? Thanks

I'm thinking the cam is reaching the over center position on the lifter, and the snap is the clearance being taken up between the cam gear and the crank gear, I know I sure can hear it on my m-18 kohler twin.
It took me a while to find it, and yes,
it has a "snap" like a magneto on the starting cam

That could be it. I'm not sure but I know it will get the best of me and I'll have to tear it down and find out. Might as well, I'm refurbishing everything else on the old girl. By the way, thanks to everyone who has tried to help. My name is Ron,I'm from DuBois,PA and I am restoring a 61 original serial no. 2495 that was my fathers. It was the first one I drove as a kid. it has been sitting in the basement of an old school for about fifteen years.

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.
