Re: Hole on inside of intake manifold

Excellent... thanks for the advice I was hoping that JB weld could solve my problems. I might put a bit of high-temp thread sealer like Indian Head on the head bolt just as insurance. Also, I'm using all 1-1/2" head bolts, but just noticed that the online parts manual specifies one of the head bolts...

Hole on inside of intake manifold

Howdy folks, This weekend is below zero in MN, so I've been working on my K321 engine, replacing the head gasket and some other leaky gaskets. I completely rebuilt this engine with a new used block just three years ago, so I was kind of disappointed when the head gasket blew out this summer. Hopeful...

Jari Mowers

Re: Greetings from central Minnesota...

Thanks, the Cyclone is one of my favorite implements. Unfortunately, the hopper has some rust holes and the plastic drive gears are getting stripped, but it's still useful for spreading grass seed every once in a while. It was originally owned by my grandfather, who bought it in the 70's to use with...

Greetings from central Minnesota...

Hello all, Back in 2011 I purchased a Cub Cadet 1450 from my cousin, and have been working on it ever since (and adding to my collection of implements too). In the nine years since then (hard to believe it's been that long already), I have completely rebuilt the engine, steering, and several other p...
