Yes, any 12X manual will do, as far as the engine disassembly/reassembly goes.
And pay attention to detail....it's the little things that matter with engines. My time is valuable to me, so I refuse to do things twice...and as far as I'm concerned, an engine should not need to be taken apart more than once in a lifeime....well, depending on use. Example: my cub was well used when I go it, so if it lasted 42 years without needing disassembly, then when I rebuild it, I shouldn't see it needing rebuilding until I'm 73....another 42 years.

The motor HAS to be connected to a motor stand or the tractor frame before I will start it. Motors will move around on a workbench when they are running. Try catching a running motor as it falls off your workbench. Hopefully the hot muffler, gas or a rotating shaft doesn't hurt you.

To Me there is no such thing as a dumb question-the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Get a correct Kohler manual if you are working on a Kohler motor. Get a correct Cub Cadet manual if you are doing work to your Cub.

Ok, I downloaded the manual to research it. BUT, I found out something bad this weekend that I didn't notice before. I set the engine on the workbench on its side under the light, and as I was inspecting the block, something bad struck me. On the bottom of the cylinder there is a 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch of the cylinder missing at the very bottom. Could this be why Cub won't run?

Mine had a chunk missing too. I've rebuilt it, but I still haven't started it yet (waiting to finish up the rest of the tractor now that warm weather's here).
If you do use it, be sure to round off the sharp edges with a die grinder. Here's a link to what mine looked like: http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=1749

Doublecheck your link there...I got a list of forum posts.. As long as the missing chunk is down below where the piston normally rides it won't hurt.. If it is where the rings hit, it is junk, if it is where the skirt rides, it is a judgement call.

Hmmm thanks Rhoderman for the thread. I feel relieved now too lol. It isn't as wide as that but maybe as tall. I'll try to get a pic of it. So I'm going to continue to get that cylinder in it honed. My uncle could probably do it for $5 for me. Mine also threw a rod. When I first opened up the engine and took off the oil pan when I suspected a blown rod it was way worse than blown. It was BLOWN. So I will get that grinded down also. Thanks Rhoderman again. Made me feel better bout the engine lol.

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.
