Operation "Redemption" KT17 rebuild
Me; "Forgive me father for I have sinned. I let the motor in my Cub Cadet 782 get low on oil. It held on as long as itr could, but eventually, the strain was too great, and it failed. Broke a rod, added an extra hole to the engine case."
Pastor Kolher; "Don't despair, my child, we all have fallen short. To make a mense, you must repair the damage. You must resist the temptation to look at another brand of engine, do not covet a re-power kit! Repair the KT, make it better!" Oh well, you get the jist, trying to find some humor in a screw up. I think I have it ready to reassemble. If you saw my other thread about the genset that I bought, this is the rest of the story. :http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16827 The fisrt issue was the 10-24 screw that hold the stator on. The genset motor didn't have a stator, just a fan shroud. (3) of the (4) screws broke when I tried to remove them. I drilled them out, and re-tapped them, but I was not happy with them; So I bought this; And put inserts in them; Next was this oil block off plate, I mean really? So that could not be allowed to go. I had some scrap aluminum, so I rectified that situation. I bought a remote oil filter kit used off of eBay. I was on a zero turn 24hp unit, now it will be on my 782; Then I saw the pressure port on the motor above the dipstick emboss. So a quick visit to Summit racing website yielded a 2" oil pressure gauge; If you looked at the other thread at all, you'll see some one advised using the Governor from the tractor motor, as the genset was set to 1600 rpm. Well thanks for the heads up, cause sure enough the wieghts on the genset were much larger. I swapped it out, but had to use the shaft from the genset, as it rides on roller bearings and is longer. After that I swapped over the oil fill and dipstick. Tomorrow I will attempt to put humpty dumpty back together again. If you see anything I'm missing, please speak up, THANKS. |

ya might want to "pin" that Gov.puppy!
I run the oil filter in the origional position on the side of the block. I just made a nice clearance hole in the air deflector, no problems. either way works good. Make sure the in and out lines are in the correct location. |

As far as the in and out of the oil lines, I'm believe the center hole is the pressure or feed port. The vacant area below that is the return? I plan the plumb the "feed" or pressure hole, to the center of the filter head adapter. This would drive the oil from the center of the filter, outward. I think thats right? |

Don't know if you put a new Gov gear in or if your using the old one,but if it was me I'd put a new one in. It seems to be a common failure issue as the get older.

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.
