He said he work 40+ years in auto mechanics? Where? In south America? Have you ever seen a 4X4 with a broken tie rod repair with a rope? They most have learn that trick from him.

This guy need to wear a hazardous sticker on the forehead!

I started watching that video and from the comments I knew it would make me cringe. Sure enough the cringing started when I saw the pipe wrench go on the crank. When he started beating the block apart with a hammer I had to turn it off.

It's his engine and he can do what he wants with it but I hate to see a decent piece of equipment destroyed by an idiot. Last time I checked they aren't making K series Kohler engines anymore and it is a shame to see one needlessly destroyed.

I have two QL tractors - a 1000 and a 1450. I treat them with respect and I see myself almost as a caretaker of them. My two boys (6 and 4) are already deciding who gets which one when they are old enough to use them. The reality is they will get them when I am gone. This oaf sees no value in these machines and should come no where near them.

That engine could have been saved. All it needed was an owner with skills and common sense. What a shame.

I really don't give a hoot, I've watched his other videos and he seems pretty ingenuitive. He makes some of his own parts. By the way the tractor is alive and restored with a repower.

"Rigging" is not ingenuitive...... but whatever.

Follow that guy if you want. He's a moron. Doesn't take a lot of brain power to figure out how to bash a motor with a hammer to disassemble it.

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.
