I picked up a red one
I just got home with this, it came with a snow blade, 50c deck, mule and hanger, a few quarts of paint, a new pack of decals, new filter, new tires, and wheel weights. It has about 1200 hours on it, and it’s a Kohler KT17 Series II engine! It won’t start, it last ran a couple years ago. I’ll drive it off the the trailer tomorrow

Nice Score Steve! Looks like it has lots of goodies with it, too and some really nice wheel weights. Are those 50 lbs. or 75 lbs. each? I also like the white grill on the red ones. I was thinking about putting a white grill and side shields on my 982 to dress it out a little differently.

Paints a little rough but it will clean up nice.
Those are 75lb weights. Plan is to get it running and go from there.

Here are some daylight photos. There is no compression in one cylinder, and I removed the spark plug, I can’t see the piston moving, I can on the other side.
 I think I still did good with all the accessories and new tires, etc. new engine seals, new tranny cover gasket, new plugs, filter, 6 cans of paint... I gave it a bath to clean the dirt and grease off, looks like someone over sprayed it with red and it’s now peeling.

Welp, the only way to know for sure is to crack it open and look, starting with pulling the head. The PO said it ran two years ago and had been sitting and now it won’t start. So I figured it would be carb related. I guess it’s possible he was running it on one cylinder. I don’t think rods spontaneously combust while sitting.
That other member johncub has two engines but is 5 hours away. There were two nearby for $50 a couple weeks ago. One with a broken rod and one with a bad seal. That could have come in handy now. I’ll keep an eye out for something closer, while I tear this one down and see what’s happened inside. I have a good Kohler command vtwin short block sitting around too, maybe I can build that up and use it. I’d need a carb, a head, gaskets, muffler and shrouds, flywheel... etc.

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.
