New to old cubs purchased 129
I have owned a 2000 series cub since 2004 but was at a customers house yesterday and he had a model 129 in the front of the garage. Original owner since 1974 he thinks, said it hasnt been used for 8 years but he starts it occasionally. Burns oil due to worn rings- original Kohler engine still on it. He has all the parts for a complete rebuild- rings, gaskets, decals, tailight lenses, trans fluid,etc. all manuals and a good deck , snowblower, wheel weights and chains, He said he would like to get his money out of the parts he has- $150.00. I gave him $200.00 and told him I'd be back to pick it up with a trailer. Question...what can I expect to run into with the Kohler rebuild? I have good experience with engines but none with Kohlers. Can I expect to just hone it and drop in rings or do I need to go oversize and do valve guides and lap or grind valves? I understand that it depends on condition of the cyl. but was just wondering what is usually found. Would I be better of repowering it with a modern overhead valve engine? I'd sorta like to keep it original. Thanks for any input. Dave

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.
