Kind of late now I suppose...but, did you happen to check the oil before you started it?

if its turning over and no air is coming from the spark plug hole then its got to be a broken connecting rod, with any kind of luck it didnt hurt the block to the point it cant be rebuilt. that said if its over your head theres plenty of guys on the forum that you can send the engine to for rebuilding. good luck

The good news is................if there is not a big puddle of oil on garage floor and no holes in the block, maybe it will be an easier and less expensive fix.

Rebuild that Kohler and get another 30 years out of that bad boy. Whatever you spend will be less than a new throw-away sheet metal "tractor" from Lowe's Depot.

Sorry to hear about your engine problems, but you can't argue with TheSaturnV's logic. Once the engine is rebuilt, anything else that could be or go wrong with the tractor can be be repaired/replaced for cheap and you'll have a tractor that will give you many more years of faithful service.

20 years ago I bought a 129 that had a broken rod. I replaced the rod, pan gasket and head gasket. That's all. Been running great since then. No overhaul. Not even a new spark plug.

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.
