Default Great
Thanks George. Good advise there. The block cleaned up well. I guess I should dump the oil and replace before I start the motor?

Jay, one tip I have used and had good success is to use Permatex Copper Coat spray on the head gasket prior to installation. It helps seal off any imperfections that may cause a leak in the future. Two thin coats is all you need. On the down side, it is kinda pricey, but it works.

I also have used the spray copper coat a couple of times with a questionable surface & had no problems, I just can't say if it would of worked or not worked without using it.

Default head gasket change
Make sure when you start reassembling the head bolts that you put a small squit of vegtable oil on the threads. Then torque in sequence. Seems to hold torque a lot better.

Default cleaned up and on
Ok, grabbed a piece of glass off a table at home, Shhhhhhhh! dont tell the wife, and got the recomended sand paper as per MattG, thanks Matt!!!!!


Yay, finally after a few sheets and some sore arms, it was all nice and even. It had some high spots and where it started leaking it was off in that area.

So I cleaned the threads up and put the new gasket on, mounted Mr. Straight Head. I bought new Grade 8 bolts and new grade 8 nuts for the studs.....I was just too lazy to wire wheel everything he he. Here she is.







Well here is the funny !!!! As I go get my torque wernch out, I dont have a 9/16 deep socket to fit it ha ha doh !!!!!

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.
