Shouldn't be too bad of a job, anyone know about reinstalling and timing the balance gears? Gonna check them, and get out the service manual.

dont....really.... i have a guy that just made mandrels to balance k series engines on his balancer if you dont want it to shake that bad....but its a single..and luckily most of the kohler cranks have holes in the weights, and i dont have money to go looking through old big block motors out in the rain for heavy metals...he used to balance little briggs and honda cart motors that would spin up to 10k rpms, (he also built drag race engines in the 50s 60s 70s..... but his mandrels wouldnt fit the k series, so he had a friend make some different ones for the k series crank... i was gonna offer it as a service here soon once we get it perfected...like i said about the holes too, cheaper than ones that need heavy metals....let me know if interested..?

So.... a mandrel is basically a shaft. How does a mandrel balance an engine, and why would a bone stock "low" RPM engine need balanced? Hell, I take balance gears out when I rebuild them and so do 80% of others who rebuild them regularly.

You do know there should be two set screws in each hole? One on top of the other?

Did you pull the flywheel?

Mike, he says he got the PTO off. Basket pulley is what sounds like is stuck. Only two set screws in it. No stacked ones.

You need the puller Jeff makes for the pulley.

Yes the pto is off and the pulley set screws are out, the flywheel is still on, that puller would be useful right about now.

Engines free, loosened flywheel and it turns, assuming something is holding it like the mouse nest.

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.
