    Okay blade gurus....

    Take a close look at a new blade, it has a flat surface on the edge about a 32nd of an inch or so. I maintain equipment for a landscape company and I sharpen using an angle grinder with a sand paper disc and then do a couple swipes lightly with a hand file to take the edge off.

    garden tractor pulling

    the IH Cubs work well because they have a proper fiber disc clutch... the drive shaft itself is actually a weak point and needs to be beefed up for pulling. you can use a belt drive tranny like a Peerless 2300 but most gearbox garden tractors use a tension pulley against the drive belt acting...

    garden tractor pulling

    stock or modified? at about 650 lbs a C141 is not a very heavy tractor to start with, and hydro's in general are not ideal for pulling. Anything can be done if you throw enough money at it... but the first thing you need to do is check the rules at any local pulling clubs.

    What is this model?

    Its one of the smaller MTD built Whites, the step thru design started in/around the early 90s and by that time MTD was also building the Cub Cadets. If you go back into the late 70s/80s the MTD White had some big heavy tractors such as the Yardboss line... those will send the JDs home from the...

    Jim Dandy serial # ?

    If the engine does not have a 'CODE' number then it is a pre 1965 engine which would make the tractor a '64 or '65.

    Jim Dandy serial # ?

    MF 24

    If the sprocket has a 1/2" pitch will be a standard #40 which was pretty common on alot of lawn/garden equipment.

    Kohler k161 in Cub Cadet 70

    not 100% sure I follow you but the full level in any K series engine, regardless of the type of oil pan, is approx 1/2" below the hole that the filler tube is in... on some engines there is no tube but just a screw in style plug and the oil level is at the bottom of that plug.

    Kohler k161 in Cub Cadet 70

    Doesnt matter what size engine or what tractor its in.... if there is enough pressure to lift the dipstick then the crankcase vent is not working properly... if you seal the dipstick without addressing the vent issue then it will just blow out a seal someplace else.
