I have a kit in my 128 engine and I have a kit for the 8hp motor that was in the 73 that belongs to my nephew. Now, I can't say as to how good it is, because I can't ever seem to get money or time to finish my 128 to get it started up, LOL. But, I had no issue with the parts other than the head gasket is crap. I just went up to the dealer and got a Kohler head gasket that has the fire ring around the cylinder area.

I put a kit from that seller in my 10 hp Kohler. It was the kit with piston, rings and gasket set. It seems to be working fine so far and all ring gaps and piston diameter were exactly where they should be.

Ok thanks. My engine id tag is long gone and I'm wondering if anyone can say for sure just what it is. So far I think it's a K321 14hp I just don't know if it's a D series or just what the D means ? My motor has a 3 1/2" bore and has breaker points.

my 16hp rod/piston/gasket set from ebay was fine. I thought the gaskets might be horrible, but the head gasket had the fire ring. The materials on the other parts were good. Seal had the same identification as the seal I got at the kohler dealer.
Cleaniness and good machine work and it should last for decades with regular oil changes. Michael |

You have a K321 14hp motor.

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.
