Twoton,

Sent a PM. If you need a deck and that one doesnt work out, I have two to choose from that will fit, and reasonably priced.

As a fellow 1650 owner, welcome to the fold. Time to start hoarding gas tanks, mufflers, and isolators (or hard mount... dealer's choice)!

I can tell you $250 for a 50C or A is WAY too much... Forget that CL ad. The mule drive would be for the wrong belt too (but may actually function).

FWIW, I have 2 very nice 50As, both with the smaller/late model "speed up" pulley installed, and I paid $100/ea. One was locally from CL, another from an eBay seller that delivered it 200 miles for me for free (sort of a long story, but that guy wheels and deals on stuff all the time and is cool. Out of respect for our vendors I will insist you PM me for the name if you want it... he would Fastenal ship if you asked but I can't see that working out with like 1,000 mile distance) and I skinned him an extra $40 for him and his boy to hit the local steak joint while they were in town for being good sports.

Last mule drive/deck carrier combo I bought (2011?) was $28 shipped (eBay, same guy). Last mule drive alone was $18 shipped (random seller). To me, that puts the *top* of the going rate for that setup at $170 *IF* it had the right pulleys. I don't know Yeeter from Adam, but if you want a deck I'd probably hit him up or offer the CL guy a c-note flat for the entire setup, which will probably get you hung up on.

FWIW, with the right pulleys, you'll want a 77" belt. Cub dealer sold me something absurdly too long (like an 80") based on my serial #. Totally didn't work without 4" of J bolt sticking out of the mule drive. I've been using Oregon Kevlar/Aramid belts with no complaints.

Yeah, and $450 is probably to much for this too;

Don't think anyone actually pays the asking price for stuff on CL. Problem is I'm not much of a beater.

I can't comment on the value of the rake, but nice decks shouldn't be that hard/expensive to find. Some people think loose, and common, implements are made of gold for whatever reason.

Here's an entire 1x9 with a 42" deck, new ags, and a snow thrower for $750 (not sure how far from you it is). That's not a bad deal at all. Sell off what you don't want and probably get the deck for "free".

twoton: That's more than it sold for new ! I have a older one with narrower tines but only paid $100 for a couple years ago. The ones I've seen around here have been going for around $200 to $250.

[twoton]

That's a nice looking rake you got there Jumper. And that's what I was thinking, $200 - $250.

More pics of the ram mounting configuration on the plows would be very welcome. Want to pick up a ram for my 1541 so my lazy old bones does not have to climb off the machine to turn the blade. Anyone know where to get a ram without having to get a bank loan?
