Default 20 HP Kohler
I have an interesting issue that just happened for the second time. The oil fill cap has come loose and blown off while mowing and blows oil everywhere. It happened for the first time last summer so I bought a new cap figuring the rubber gasket was getting worn from a few summers of mowing. Then it just happened a couple days ago only after about a year. Is this common? Now I'm trying to figure out how to tether it or make something so that it can't turn by itself and blow out. Of course I never was able to find the caps that blew off.

First ...welcome to OCC...

20HP doesn't tell us much. How about a specific Model number (ie: M-20, CH-20, etc).

And what caused it? Possibly a crankcase breather malfunction? Excessive blow-by?

Thanks, I'm new here if you couldn't tell. It's a Kohler command v twin. Only 5 or 6 years old. I assume it's a CH.

Bad or plugged Crankcase Breather. Now that we know you have a CH-20, we can look it up.

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.
