The tractor was built in dec. 68.
K301 denotes 12hp, the A means it has a special oil pan.
The 47 on the spec# denotes K301 (12HP) The 3 numbers and letter after the 47 are the specific variation to the engine to meet OEM specifications.
The D in the serial# denotes 1968 and the remaining numbers are factory code for line and shift at the factory when the engine was assembled on that day.

Hope this helps.

She will be getting a very good servicing soon! I like to mix 112 in my fuel. Its kind of like gas treatment (no ethanol) and keeps my tractors running healthy and strong.

Not to get off the subject but............................?

I'm only asking cause I have NO knowledge of the subject matter?

Can high octane like race gas cause any problems to a simple kohler 10/12hp. Motor?

Like run to hot? Because of the increased pressure? Or does racing gas do that?

To fast?

Don't know?

Nik

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.
