I used this members process and it worked out well. Go to page #12 in the thread below. You can find the fiberglass repair kit at any auto parts store and at Wally World.

Been kind of a slow go around here on the 129. But got back in the shop today. Been kind of under the weather and waiting on parts, a few came and I did a steering upgrade, put in new axle seals, lapped the valves and seats. Rings should be here soon I hope and I can get the engine buttoned up.
I have a question about the balance gears, while I have the engine down should I remove them of leave them in? I have read some post where it's recommended to take them out and some post to leave them. Any and all thoughts would be welcome. Pics will follow soon.

Here is my take... I worked in a small engine shop for most of the 1980's and into the 90's.. We rebuilt hundreds of K series Kohlers.. At that time even the Kohler factory rep recommended that we remove them. I saw several sets turn into grenades and do a lot of damage to the block.. I never could tell much of a difference in the vibration with or without the gears. I don't think they ever really panned out for Kohler.

You know what, I have yet to see and read direct information provided on balance gears "giving up", and destroying a Iron Line Kohler! I've read and read, it's the recommended thing to do : removing the balance gears. I did just that in the k321 in my 1450. The IH Cub Cadet Quiet Line appears to reign the most common garden tractor produced, you'd think there would be a lot of balance gears "giving up".
I guess its best to remove them from the engine.

Slow process but work continues
Over the past couple of weeks I have been able to make some progress on the 129. I got the engine back together, primed and painted, and got the other parts primed and ready for paint. I'm going to use the Case IH Iron Gard paint on this one as a local dealer here has it and it is much cheaper than the Cub Cadet paint I used on the 1450. Just hope it paints as well, but I shall see. a few pics of the progress.
A little off the subject, while my wife and I were away for a weekend a couple of weeks ago some sorry SOB broke into my shop and relived me of approx. $3000 worth of tools, most were woodworking tools. Just goes to prove locks are for honest people. I had most of the serial numbers recorded, maybe they will show up somewhere. I felt a little better when my insurance agent told me I had full reimbursement on them.

An update on the 129
I was able to get some painting done last week. Weather has been really wet around here for the past few weeks. I'm really pleased with the IH Iron Gard paint, it covers well and shines really good, and seems to spray much better than the cub cadet paint I used on the 1450. Much cheaper too.
I hope to get some white sprayed this week, after I get some garden work done before the rain starts again.

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.
