I've made my own tap to chase exhaust elbow threads in the engine block. Simply file some notches in the threads of a purchased long nipple, and use that to clean up the existing threads. I've even gone to the trouble to heat the nipple and quench it to harden the threads, making a tap capable of cleaning up threads more easily.

I have used antisize to get tight enough to stay, but you don't want to put a cheater bar on the pipe wrench or you might split the head spiggot.
The plain 1" elbow I have dealt with on the K301's I ever had never saw a pipe wrench on them to get them so tight they stayed.
Only turned to a good snug fit, then used the conduit nut to hold it from turning out of desired position.

The pipe tap showed up yesterday and did a good job cleaning up the threads in the block.
The elbow screws in fine now.
Sure is a tight fit for the muffler, not much wiggle room between the S/G pulley, belt and brace..
I think the aftermarket muffler is not 100% correct in the fitment, as it the orientation of the inlet and the brace on the outlet are not correct.

Glad the tap took care of your problem

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.
