mystery oil leak
Hello again fellow cubbers. Took my 1450 out the other day and mowed the lawn. After parking I discovered the mule drive covered with motor oil. I pulled the panels and found the left side, (carb side) of the engine block coated with oil. I wiped the engine down, and checked the bolts around the breather and points cover and the cover for the fuel pump (no fuel pump here). I started the engine and soon observed traces of oil flicking off the bottom of the air cleaner. I pulled the aircleaner and its mount. I found a small threaded hole in the side of the block. It's to the right of the breather. Motor oil was oozing from this hole. I got a pipe cleaner and a Qtip and cleaned this hole out. The hole has fine threads and a small pin hole at inside.
I checked my Kohler manual but found no reference to this hole. I assumed it may be some type of breather for the crankcase. I checked the oil level and found it slightly above the Full mark on the dipstick. I drained motor oil so the level was between Low and Full. I started the engine then cut some grass. I went back and checked for leakage. None was found. Do any of you know what this threaded hole with the pin hole inside is. What is it for. Also I checked for the engine spec plate on the shroud and didn't find it. What model engine did the 1450 come with. Thanks again for your time and help.

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.
