I think you have a keeper. I see STD on the top of the piston so at least you know you have room for a freshen if it needs it. This is the guy that used to do my race car engine in Watertown CT (Carlquist competition engines 1-860-274-0742) I know he also does small engines if you need a good machine shop.

Sam, thank you. I will hold onto that number for my other engines. This engine has awesome compression and the cylinder walls are like a mirror! Thanks for the praise buddy, it is definitely a keeper.

I didn't get too much done today, but I did manage to get some pieces down to bare metal including the dash tower. I spent like an hour scraping the paint off with a metal scraper on the tower, It came off pretty easily considering.... the other items I used a wire wheel.

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.
