Default Over haul of a K-301
I have a 125 with a K-301. Appearance and mechanicals are excellent. It has started to use some oil and fouling the plug. I don't use it in the winter. I'm planning on an overhaul this winter. It has 0.20 on the piston. I want the balance gears out and David Kirk modification done. My question for all the experienced guys on this forum, is sleeve it, or bore to 0.30? All answers will be appreciated!

Thanks guys.

I would rather bore to 0.030 than sleeve it if I had the option. If you wear it out at 0.030 you can always sleeve it after that, but you might not ever get to that point.

Go .030 over, but have it measured carefully as it could be scored or will not clean up @ .030 as that is only .005 from where you are at now on each side. .005 is not much.

Have you any experience with Kirk's crankshaft balance kit? I'm having one done just now. Just curious...

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.
