just got the block back from the mower shop. block was honed, valve job was done along with cut seats, guides were knurled, and the crank pin was cleaned up. i also got new valves, piston, rings, gasket set, connecting rod and anything else required to put it back together. everything was also properly cleaned and throughly degreased. everything was also measured to assure that it is correct and proper. the whole thing cost me 400 bucks, but i should have an engine that should last many years. i was told to use assembly lube when i put it back together and break it in with 30W oil with zinc. im going to start re-assembly soon and should have a running engine soon. i know its going to be a k301 and that the tractor orginally had a k321, but the original block was destroyed. i hope i didnt get hosed on the price of the work, i know that this type of machining work doesnt come cheap.

I am currently doing the same procedure to my K301. I am only having three things done at the machine shop. Bore cylinder .010 over = $40, includes hot tanking the block. Turn crank pin .010 under = $40. Clean the head = $10.
Everything else I am doing or purchasing myself. I figure my total including all needed components will be around the $400 +/- . So you may not be too bad off. Considering a new short block is double or more than that price, it is worth it. Good luck on the rebuild. Keep us posted.

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.
