Thank you.
So do you think take the CC-O head and put it on CC-71 while taking CC-O apart? I could try that. Guess all I would need is the gasket. |

I don't see why not, since they're both K161s. I would check the good head for flatness and buy a good head gasket (genuine Kohler gaskets are still readily available). Just be sure to retorque the head fasteners to 15-25 ft. lbs. after a heat cycle (lubricate the threads of the head fasteners with oil before torquing). While you're at it, you might as well take the opportunity to clean off any built-up carbon from the underside of the good head with a plastic scraper before you install it on the 71's engine.

As long as there's not a hole in the engine with oil dripping out, you stand a good chance of getting that engine rebuilt and back to running.

Again, Thanks.
On the CC-O. The valves do move up and down and the piston does not. Mr. Houtz was right. The fuel tank and head are off. On the CC-71. The Helicoil did not hold with blue or red locktight. The parts guy just said run it in, well that didn't work. Can the head be re-tapped while on the engine? I don't want to change heads now, I wanted the engine swap to be an after mowing season project

Well, your options are shrinking! No, you can't (safely) tap the head with it still on the engine ... you're going to end up with a bunch of aluminum shavings down in the cylinder that way. It's kind of hard to make sure of your problem. It SOUNDS like the helicoil won't stay threaded into the head because the threads for it are stripped/buggered up. If that's the case, it might be possible to buy a 2x oversize helicoil but I doubt it. In any event, the head's gotta come off . That's a simple job UNLESS you snap off the bolt / stud that's near the exhaust port, which is always quite possible. Then you'll meet Mr Helicoil again. Oh, and find a new Parts Guy for advice :-)

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.
