Is THIS the "s" mark for timing?
OK, Trying to get my adopted 149 to start and run like I know it should, and while peeking through the sight hole on the shroud to find the marks for setting the timing, I notice two patches on the flywheel that seem to have hatch marks. (I have never read about this before) They are also painted yellow. These seem like clues to me, but I still can't make out the marks. So, I cram my camera in there with a light and take some shots, then blow them up on the computer and I think I see a faint "S". Is this just my fevered imagination?

I can't really make anything out. Let me ask you this as I cannot tell. On your 149 you will have to remove the starter/generator to see the hole in the shroud to see the flywheel and timing marks. Is this where you are looking?

My guess is no...thats not the s mark your looking for, if infact it is an "S" to begin with... it looks squared off....any kohler timing mark i've ever seen is the "rounded" off S....keep looking...you'll find it.

It will probably be easier to remove it to make sure that S is absolutely as dead center in the hole as possible. You may have to use a good flashlight to find the S and then sand it good and hi light it with some white or yellow paint. Once you have that, you will be able to set the points accordingly.

Im far from an expert but:
* I've had to remove the SG to see mine and * Both of the one's I've found were NOT obvious...I needed a strong pinpoint light to find it. One hint. Watch for when the points begin to open, then go look in the hole when the points are approx in that state... it'll narrow down your search if the engine was running at all! John

No Kohler Timing Marks
Similar problem! I have Kohler K321 on a Case 444, with starter/generator system, and I too cannot locate the S mark on the flywheel. The bearing plate has 2 half moon cutouts around the starter/generator but no S mark on the flywheel. This Kohler is on a Case 444. I have removed the blower housing, wire wheeled the surface and looking with trouble light. Based on compression stroke, I can ascertain approximately where the mark should be, but nothing. The black line is where it might be based on TDC.
Also, the bearing plate has a raised line on the inside carb side, hidden by the blower housing but the housing has no sight hole at all. Can anyone help?

You will find the T and S marks on the forward facing part of the flywheel. You will need to remove the starter and starter bracket to be able to look thru the timing hole to find the marks.

The best way to set you timing is to use a degree wheel. Most of these cast iron flywheels are getting so old it makes the S impossible to see. Most of the time I have to pull the flywheel and clean it to find the S. Then I take a white paint pen and fill the stamp with paint.

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.
