I did get here on Sunday. Thought I would start puttering around with the 3240 today. So I did a compression test and came up with 160 psi in each cylinder and when it runs I do not hear valve train or lower end noise, the oil looked decent so I think I have a good engine that has 461 hours on it. I started making a list of things that I need and it is adding up fast. I need a PTO switch, vacuum solenoid and ignition switch for starts. They work but a broken in other ways. Any one have parts machines around to sell me some parts? I am checking out E-Bay but half the time they do not answer. Think I will order up the O-rings and seals soon also so I will be ready to pull out the differential to check it out. The wheel lock works and there are not any noises coming from there that I know of.

I am thinking about pulling the 22 HP Kohler from the tractor to clean and look it over. Does anyone know how much it weighs? Can I pick it up my self?

it weighs around 90-100lbs
I can and have lifted many of them out and back in again. I wouldn't want to carry it very far but just to move it from tractor to bench is doable. at 460 hours it most likely needs a good cleaning and I'd be amazed if it doesn't need head gaskets and crank seals.

No, I would not recommend you picking it up my yourself. Get a helper, it much easier with 2 people. Your back will thank you when you get older.

I already am older! I set up a come-along and a cart since I have a beam going across in my garage. Unfortunately I have no one to help me except advice from you guys on the forums.

I got the engine pulled tonight. I also have limited space and almost regretted buying this because of that. But now that I am into it I am managing and having fun.

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.
