Well, I could've sworn it was a 128 when I looked at it last summer but this weekend I went back to take a second look and it is a 108, complete, for $25. How was I going to say no. The engine was suspect so I also picked up a K301 with 8 hours run time on her for a song. A buddy of mine thinks the 10hp can be brought back to life. The question is, if the K241 is dead and I swap in the K301, is it a sin to re-badge it a 128??? You guys won't tell on me will ya? I'll get some pics in a few weeks, I left it down in Virginia at my buddy's and won't get back down for ahwile. All in all it was a good weekend. Rich |

I don't think the serial numbers were model/HP specific until the Quiet Lines. If the paint/decals are good I'd drop the K301 in and leave it a 108. As long as the K241 doesn't have any "WINDOWS" in the crankcase it should be rebuildable. You can always sleeve the bore. If the crank is worn even at -.010" u/s I hear the Magnum cranks interchange and are actually stronger than the cast K-series cranks, and still available new. |

Thanks ACecil. You should've seen all the other tractors this fella had lying around. Speedex, Panzer Pennsylvania, a 607 Horse, a bunch of Sears GT's, and other stuff so overgrown with weeds you couldn't see them. I was in heaven. |

I imagine either Myron or Roland would have the kind code breakdown. I haven't been able to find it anywhere on this website... |

Go to the technical part of the forum and look for the title, Kohler and Cub identification. Lot of info there. :thumbsup |
