Great Post
MWShaw: I stumbled across your thread looking for information on rebuilding an M18. You did a great job on your write-up, I'm going to find and read your write-up on the GenSet as well.
I gotta say, I certainly respect your perseverance in the face of set-backs that would have stymied a lesser man. Unraveling the front cover mystery was especially informative. I don't know that I would have been able to figure it out; much less fix it! Based on your experience, I'm also hopeful that I can find parts, if need be, for my M18 --governor and rod particularly. Looking at the two front covers, and noticing the gasket on the one from the GenSet; I'm wondering if part of the issue might be that the GenSet engine was designed for use with a gasket, while the KT17 was designed to be sealed with silicone sealant. I know that this was an issue for the M18 motors: the Service Manual for the M18 states: Later production models use silicone sealant as a gasket between the closure plate and crankcase. In order to eliminate the fiber gasket and use sealant, an additional 0.020" of material was added to the closure plate. Therefore, closure plates designed for use with gaskets cannot be installed using sealant; closure plates designed for use with sealant cannot be installed using a gasket. The NOTE appears under Section Heading "Install Oil Pressure Relief Valve, Closure Plate, and Rear Oil Seal," see Kohler Service Manual for the M18 and M20 engines, in the Reassembly chapter, at page 11.9 But even if this were true for the KT17 motors, it would not seem to account for all the differences I see in the pictures of the two cover plates. I just think it is amazing that you were able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I salute you, sir! Jeremiah |

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.
