Hard starting K241
I bought a CC100 about six months ago and have been refreshing it over the summer. Pretty much done with it now, but the engine is a puzzle. I switched it's 10 HP K241 with a good running 106 engine a month ago that runs fine in the 100. I put the problem 100 engine in the donor CC106 and finally got it running this past weekend - by jumping it from my Dodge truck. A normal size garden tractor battery - 300 to 350 CCA - will not turn the engine over. The engine "catches" on the compression stroke and acts like it has a high compression head (which it does not). Once I jumped it with the Dodge, it ran great. A bit of background on this engine: the PO rolled it into a creek (broke his pelvis in the process - that's why I ended up with it). Anyway, I bought it as a non-running project tractor. It had roll over damage to the tin, etc. that I have repaired or replaced.
My question is this - could this engine have a slightly bent crankshaft? Or some other damaged critical engine part like the piston rod, bearings, etc.? I've had the head and the oil pan off and nothing jumped out at me. It confuses me because, while very hard starting, it runs pretty good once it's going. Oh, one other thing. The PO apparently had the starting problem before his wreck because he had modified the battery area to accept a full-size car battery. Hmmm..

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.
