    48" Mower Deck w/ QA Narrow Frame Mule Drive

    Justin, I'm sorry I did not see this sooner. The deck is no longer available.

    48" Mower Deck w/ QA Narrow Frame Mule Drive

    I did have my 301 rebuilt after it threw a rod. After 3 hours of run time it threw the rod again and now there is a hole in the cylinder wall. The shop refunded their labor cost but not the parts (they bored out the cylinder and put in an oversized piston) or the cost of having a machine shop...

    Don: Sorry to hear about your health. Any chance you have a good running 10 or 12 hp that would fit a 124 in that trailer full of parts? Jason

    Steve - I wasn't very happy with the way they handled it. They refunded the labor costs, but would not refund the cost of the parts. They made a big deal about how they were doing me a huge favor even attempting a rebuild on this old of an engine, even though when I initially contacted them they...

    I didn't install the rod myself. I had the engine rebuilt by a small engine shop. It was a Kohler OEM rod. Unfortunately when the rod broke it hit the cylinder wall and cracked it. When I tore the engine down after the failure I did verify that the dipper was in the correct orientation...

    The Kohler K301A that I had rebuilt a couple years back with the help from those here broke another connecting rod after only a few hours of operation. (This all happened back in Dec 2016-Mar 2017). I ended up purchasing a Kubota B-Series and my Cub 124 has been sitting behind the shed while I...

    In search of a good running Kohler K301A for a narrow frame. Located in upstate NY (zip 12833). Willing to travel a few hours for the right unit. Thanks!

    Marlin - I'll definitely take a few photos and post them over the weekend. Looks like I have some snow coming my way early next week.

    All, I know it's been a while, but I wanted to give those interested the outcome of my K301's trip to the engine shop...while it took much longer than anticipated - I received it back in good working order last week and fired it up in the 124 yesterday. Here is what was done to it: -...

    Thanks for the support everyone. I'll be heading over to the shop with the engine this afternoon. I'll post an update once I have a diagnosis.

    So, I have been thinking about this a lot...this is my only tractor and I rely upon it for snow duty. I also have two children under the age of 3. My limited time along with my relative inexperience here is leading me to think that having the local shop do the machine work, re-assembly and...

    Earl - thanks for the list. Other than a toque wrench and piston ring compressor I'm in pretty good shape. I completely agree with buying quality tools...I used to work in the tool dept at Lowes - I've been very happy with the Kobalt hand tools. Supposedly made in the Snap-on factory (at least...
