    Well, I must admit my stupidity. The problem was that I did not have a good connection to a power source. Once that was corrected, everything was fine. They say that everyone can make a mistake, but this one should not have happened. Oh well, I guess I proved myself to be human because most of...

    Nic Bextermueller: After you told me about the Equus unit I went to O'Reillys and bought a "6088" Tach. I told the clerk that I wanted one for a single cylinder Kohler, but ended up with the "6088". I went home and installed it and it did not work, and found that it is for a 4-6-8 cylinder auto...

    Nic Bextermueller: I have one of those tractors that is a K241, but when building the engine they ran out of K241 blocks and built it with a K301 block. At least this is what I read, I believe on this forum

    I purchased and installed an automobile tachometer. We have a K241 with a K301 block bored out .020 over. At idle speed how many r.p.m. should I see on the tach ? Other than the boring done because of cylinder wall wear, the tractor is stock...running at full throttle, what kind of r.p.m. should...

    Nic Bextermueller: I purchased an Equus 6088 Tach. Not being a technical expert, I'll ask you how to wire this thing. According to the diagram.... Black wire to ground....White wire to Dash lighting circuit....Red wire to fuse block...Green wire to negative side of coil....Brown wire to to...

    Can you put an automotive tachometer on a Cub Cadet 1000 series - K241/K301 block engine ?

    We are trying to get it going, but have run into another problem. Installed new clutch and left the 3 pin driver in place. Not sure why, but the driver basically "flew apart". Is there any advantage to 6 pin verses the 3 pin, since the clutch will work with either 3 or 6 pin

    Well, it is all fixed. Grandpa did not check the work done by grandson. The engine mounts were installed but not tightned down completely. Once that was done, the bolt for the weight bar was installed and tightened, everything was O.K. I guess you have to check everything that is done by a...

    Final question.....this tractor engine is a K241, but the block is a K301 and oil pan required changing to the "deep sump" type pan. This was due to engine wear and cylinder was "convex" and was bored out by .0020 to have walls that were "straight". Engine was installed with no problems, but...

    Another question...Are "left" and "right" determined by standing at the rear of the tractor looking toward the front, or from the front of the tractor looking toward the rear ?

    My grandson completed his K241 rebuild and is putting everything back together and has run into a problem. We replaced the motor mounts with Brian Millers solid mounts and something is not right. Is it possible that the engine mounts (703-0042-0637 & 703-0043-0637) that were installed on the...

    My grandsons Cub Cadet K241 was losing a lot of compression, so we decided to have it checked. Engine was torn down and taken to machine shop to be checked. Cylinder wall was worn and there was variation of up to .015 from top to bottom. Block was bored to .020 over. Head was also "cupped" by...

    Well, we finally got the grandsons engine to the machine shop. The cylinder walls were out by more than .010, so they bored it .020. The top of the block was milled smooth, and the head was "warped" and was milled .016, making the top of the block and the head perfectly flat. By the time that we...

    We have one of the Kohler K241 engine that uses the K301 block. Is this considered a 10hp or 12hp engine ?... Bore is 3.23, so it is assumed that even though it is a 12hp block, it is a 10hp engine....Am I correct ???

    Dennis Frisk...........Thank you for your post. I think now the grandson may have changed his mind. He has pulled for one year, and has not done as well as he had hoped. I told him that he needs to make sure that he knows how to drive the tractor, because the problem could be the driver and...

    My grandson has posted here several times since he wants his 241AQS to be a winner. He is planning on rebuilding the engine and installing .030 piston. But I read Brian Millers site and he says that " increasing the bore may not create more power...longer crankshaft stroke is needed. Do I...

    My grandsons 241AQS - Serial #8003033, is undergoing the probable first rebuild and we have some questions.....new valves to be installed, do we need valve seats ? Cylinder to be bored to .30 oversize and new piston. What difference will connecting rod 1.50 or 1.49 or 1.48 make ? Do we need a...
