Thanks for the vid .thankfully mine was just rebuilt .hoping the crank journal is ok .a friend of mine wes testing out the hi rpm range one day lol then I got a call that my tractor was not running .if it Mike's out and plasty gauges good .I want to upgrade to a rod with bearings if I can find one
That motor is an oldie but a good one! Neet engine stand and valve spring compressor, its made from a caulking gun! ! You work at Valley Industrial trucks? Thanks Ed
When you rebuild the k301’s, do you leave the balancing gears out? I have owned a lot of kohler engines and have never had my balancing gears grenade out like some people have claimed.
If you are asking about a pulley on the PTO end this engine didn't have one on it. If you want to know how to get the PTO clutch off a cub cadet there are 2 set screws and they are dubble stacked. (2 per hole) then its just lots of WD40 and maybe some heat.
How does this engine work I just bought an old international cub and I’m used to the spark plug being above the piston mine and your engine appears to be offset
@@PullerbearEd I want to do a lawnmower engine rebuild sometime. It just seems like weird, uncharted territory but your right, it's all the same principles with different angles of looking at it. At least with the clone motors I work with I can pretty much make the parts interchange if they are close enough! I've probably had some really strange luck with my motors so far.
@@PullerbearEd was not being mean or anything bad just trying to learn about these motor the more I can learn. The more I can teach to my children and pass the knowledge along.
I could tell that was the first time you did that😏
Actually it wasn't. I've built probably 20 of the Kohler K engines. Thank you for watching.
@@PullerbearEd It was a joke
@@davsaltego sorry. There are time as a creator that we get bombarded with negative comments.
Thanks Ed! Very helpful, for a green horn!
Your welcome, I happy it helped.
Good work Ed pal
Thank you
Love those old k series engines! We have a k301 on our pulling tractor!
The k series are almost bullet proof but once to ride a kohler vtwin you will be in heaven.
Pullerbear Ed Very true!
Cool hope you get it running, I like that engine stand that would make engine building so much easier
Thanks Ed. Bruce from Canada. Ken from Ken's Small Engine repair help me a lot with mine. One more video to go.
Ken is a great guy and very knowledgeable on these K series. Thank you for watching.
Well done Ed mate 👍
Thank you
I love them old engines
You made it look easy
The teardown really is the easiest part...🤣🤣
@PullerbearEd I'm trying build one now
The shop manuals are still available from Kohler online for free download.
Great job! Showing support for your channel!👍👍
Great job on the year down Ed..seems like you have done that once or twice...lol..keep em coming!

Midwest super cub has the rods.
@@PullerbearEd thanks for the info .I will b nice to get my wheel horse going again
They are good people. Hope you get it going.
That's a sweet engine!

No we got a tow motor from them. And I like the hat.
Would you leave the dipstick tube in to send it to the machine shop for a rebore? Must be hard to get out.
Yes I leave the tube in. My machine shop can work around them.
Thanks very much for the prompt reply. Be well.
Your welcome.
When you rebuild the k301’s, do you leave the balancing gears out? I have owned a lot of kohler engines and have never had my balancing gears grenade out like some people have claimed.
Yes I leave them out. They are somewhat safe at lower RPM but I never trust them. IMO it is not worth taking a chance of destroying a good engine
Look at this video taking off!
Its all because of the great supporters of my channel. Thank you to each and every one of you.
Lol! Those cam pins never come out that easy for me!
Those pins have been out before. That block has been reworked a few times. Thank you for your support.
How do you get off that pulley on the left that was never in the video
If you are asking about a pulley on the PTO end this engine didn't have one on it. If you want to know how to get the PTO clutch off a cub cadet there are 2 set screws and they are dubble stacked. (2 per hole) then its just lots of WD40 and maybe some heat.
What tool did you use for removing the flywheel?
That was a harmonic balancer puller. Here is the link to the one I use. www.harborfreight.com/bolt-type-wheel-puller-set-62620.html
@@PullerbearEd thanks!
No problem.
How does this engine work I just bought an old international cub and I’m used to the spark plug being above the piston mine and your engine appears to be offset
It works the same as the other style the plug is off set for a better fuel burn.
Nice old engine
Like your office.
Thank you..its small and a mess but it works for now. Thank you for watching
I need to find you on FB , I got some pulling questions.
sorry for the delay in reply... my my IG is pullerbear_ed just like my channel..i dont use FB much anymore.
I've yet to do one myself!
Its all just nuts and bolts.

I'm didn't see where you removed crank and piston sorry but it was a good video
Thank you.
Are you going to show the rebuild ? That's where the real teaching comes in, anyone like me can tear down......LOL. (Very good show so far, Thanks)
That engine was a parts engine. I found a cracked cylinder. Sorry.
Need some talking on what you doing.
I'm sorry, this is one of my earliest videos and I was still learning. Hopefully I've gotten better.

I didn't take it as you being mean or anything. 👍 for trying to gain knowledge to teach your kids.
Good!!! Like
Thank you.
WOW GOOD video i sub thks in advance
#SMALLENGINENATION
Why is that motor’s pronouns “her”, “she”?
@herman2496 That is how it wants to be identified. Not my place to change it.
