Installing head gasket on 147.
I got the head off. I see some carbon buildup. I'm cleaning now, threads, bolts. CC factory manual says soak head gasket in water before installing. Never heard of this. Is this practice necessary?

Old procedure using Asbestos material, not necessary with new gasket materials.
Now listen up: Install the head and torque in 3 increments paying attention to the bolt torque sequence in the manual. (say #10, then #20 ish then final torque.) Then run the engine bringing it to operating temp ( 15 minutes more/less) Then go through the torque procedure again. You will notice they have loosened some. Run it again and check the torque a third time. they might only loosen a bit, now job is done. Now this sounds like excessive work. So, you can torque it only one time, and in a short while, get to replace the newly blown head gasket again Only this time, correctly. Have fun. Oh, while the head is off it is a good idea to chase the head bolt threads in the block with a bottom tap so they are clean. And flatten the head on a surface plate ( or glass) on a flat surface using wet/dry sandpaper. ( several posts on OCC) and yer-tube ) Now iffin 'yall know all this, sorry for wasting yer time |

George gave you the correct method. Only thing I saw missing is, You should let the engine cool before re-torque. If you tighten them hot they will shrink during cooling. Long time ago I saw a snapped head bolt due to this.

As ol' Jorge (sorry, my Spanish accent is showing), ol' George mentioned, when using a pane of glass as a plane for your head, remember to use a figure 8 motion on the sandpaper to prevent uneven sanding.

And dribble some sweat on the wet or dry paper to keep it from loading up

A spray bottle with some watered down glass cleaner really keeps the action going nicely. Every now and then rotate the head 90 degrees and change your hand position. We want it square and flat!

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.
