This is the 1641 that I re-powered a couple years ago.

Thanks for the pics and advice, guys. Sam, my folks have a 1641 with the 46" deck like you've got. It does a pretty good job with the bagger. I bagged a lot of leaves with it in my younger years... Looks like you built a custom front end for yours. Was that out of necessity from bad plastic?
Sorner, thanks for the advice about lye via PM. I picked some up on the way home from work in case I got into it and decided I wanted to try to get the aluminum off the crank. I tore into it the rest of the way tonight. Looks like the heat got to the crank and discolored it. Is it ruined even if I could get the aluminum off the journal? The second pic is of the rod that isn't broken. It feels smooth but looks damaged. Salvagable? Finally, the bore looks fine in the cylinder that the rod broke in. I can still see hatching and don't see any cracks or dents. I noticed what looked like marks from the casting or small cracks, though. They don't go through. Would that be alright if I rebuilt it? Right now, at a minimum I'm thinking 1 new piston and rings, 2 new connecting rods, a new crank, and new gasket set to get it rebuilt. Probably at least $250. I need to think about it for a bit. |

"V" twin Vanguard engines are to rebuild! The discoloration on the crankshaft is burned oil. Take it to machine shop and have the crank polished and inspected and the bores checked for size. Metal transfer typically occurs in a lack of lube situation. If you can reuse the crankshaft, make sure the oil passage ways in it are spotless! If you go with the repower, consider Sam Mac's suggestion.

I was in this exact position last year. Bought a clean 1641 "mechanics special" that ran on one cyl for $175. After finding that the motor was junk I was lucky enough to stumble across an ugly and beat up looking 1641 on cl for $200 that ran good. A motor swap later and we are mowing great!

That crank will clean up, I've used muriatic acid, it takes a bit of time but it will eat the aluminum off it.
Then you can see if it is scored, which I doubt. Of course the engine will need complete dissembled washed/cleaned thoroughly to remove the debris/crud and a through inspection for other related damage, as is standard practice. |

I was not able to clean up the crank. It is scored underneath the aluminum. I also tried polishing with some 1200 grit sandpaper with no luck.
So I'm still weighing options on rebuild or buy a new engine. I could buy a new 18hp for the same price as a new 16hp, around $1100. If I rebuilt it, it would be about $450 for two new pistons, new rods, used crank, gasket set, new filters and plugs, and a ball hone to deglaze the cylinders. I believe the heads are also warped and one of the head gaskets had blown. I suspect this because there was burned oil around where both heads bolted to the block. I read in the tech section how to flatten those out. The 18hp should bolt right up from what I've seen. Will I be able to use the extra HP mowing thick grass or will it just burn more gas? Could I expect to run into other problems due to the overheating that it becomes more of a money pit? |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
