I kinda doubt that.
Valve maybe, the piston is on the other side of the engine

Ummm, you might be right. I wasnt thinking clearly because I wasnt thrilled about what happened because I spent so much money on it going through everything and this happens all sudden. Just dont understand.

When I 1st got this 124, it was badly neglected and over few months after owning it, I went through everything, all the way down to the wire harness to the 2nd trans put in and it ran beauriful up to last tuesday started run rough. Thought having me leaving key on by accident all night had something do with it.

he could have seen the piston, among the heads that were used on these K301s over the years they moved the spark plug hole. who knows if the head he has now is original or has been replaced?

I was thinking the same, thank you. I'm not sure what original and what not.

Ive seen some very slight variation of position of spark plug hole on different heads for K301's but all were still over valve side of the head..

Anyone got any pics of one over piston? Not doubting it.. Just never seen it.
RW? got a pic of yours?

Not much room between the top pf the piston and the head when at TDC!
It's a very tight squeeze there.
Think about it.
What kind of gas are you burning?
Corn gas??
Any additive such as MMO?
I use MMO in all my older equipment, 1 oz/gal

Pics of K301 heads....
And for the record, I have had the plug blow out of the head.
I was mowing on a 122, plug blew out, sounded like a gunshot, engine died, and I thought the neighbor had taken a shot at me and hit the motor.

What did you do to fix it? Get new head?

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.
