301k rebuild
I truly love the International Cub Cadet. I have two 129's and one 128. I got the one 129 for parts. It was complete and runs, but runs very badly and smokes alot.
My original 129 was working and running great but I put it away after using it one day and the next time I tried to start it the motor just spins the generator turns over and the front shaft spins and also the shaft coming out of the Kohler spins, not sure of the problem..... My 128 is fine and is in very good shape. My question which might be unable to be answered with this limited info is......I would like to try and rebuild the two 301's myself. My buddy said the one that smokes quite badly might just need new rings but the one that just spins probably needs a complete rebuild. Can a pretty handy person who is quite mechanically inclined do a rebuild if he has never attempted one before? Is putting in new rings very hard? Lastly everyone I have talked to say that the rebuild kits you can buy off of ebay are junk, is this true? And if so, where would be a great place to buy a rebuild kit and a set of rings? Thanks for any help and advice, all the shops in my neck off the woods want an arm and a leg to do this work, I am on a military pension and retired so I would like to attempt this work myself and save a bunch of money. Sorry for the very long thread but I hope I can get some answers Thanks Big John from Western Pennsylvania

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.
