Another Quiet Line in the stable ...
 

Today I picked up a 1650 with an IH 42" blade, a 50" mower deck, ags and wheel weights. Seems to run pretty well - I'll need to go through it. Photos soon ... had to go all the way to Bailey, CO to get it.

Now you need a 1450 to have all of the QL hydro's. :beerchug: Sounds like you got a nice 1650 with some good acc.

Congrats on the 1650! Can't wait to see your pics. :ThumbsUp:

1650
 

Alright, here are some photos. Better mechanical shape than the 1250, but in worse cosmetic shape. However, I am apparently ready to push snow in the dark.... and I plan to put a dual-spool valve on it.

Looks like you are ready for the white stuff :biggrin2:

Nice looking 1650....boy, those are some giant wheel weights you got with it!

Nice 1650 and blade. :ThumbsUp:

Congrats on a sweet 1650! Your set for the snow now!

im ready for the white stuff.

Thanks, all. Yes, the wheel weights are rather odd - cement filled plastic, one of which seems to be ... ah ... leaking cement. Have to replace those with metal weights at some point, but with the chains that came with the tractor I ought to be good to go for this winter. The hydraulic lift seems to have very little range - might need to add a mechanical multiplier to the lift. I wonder if the way it is set up is correct? Seems the travel of the lift arm on the tractor should translate into a higher range at the plow.

WOW what a nice 1650, can I part it out for ya? :Unknown::bs::LMAO1:

Vince...:biggrin2:

Good looking cub! love those rear weights!

QL brakes
 

Ok, folks. My first question: my 1650 seems to roll after I turn it off, with the foot brake on & locked. I know that the hydro transmission will not keep it from rolling once the fluid has drained, so I am obviously trying to figure out what needs attention.

I see from the service manual that there are both disc brakes and an internal brake in the transmission. Why both, and do I need to investigate the internal transmission brake? Is it a real brake, or does its function have more to do with the way the hydrostatic drive operates?

I haven't yet found a set of external brake pads for sale, but that might be 'cause I'm not good yet at plowing through our sponsors' websites. Searching doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions as to where I might find a couple of sets (might as well do both QLs)?

Dave with the QL's they went from internal to external back to internal brakes for some unknown reason. Here's some guides from the tech section of the site.

Thanks
 

Excellent. Those posts are precisely that for which I was looking. Thanks!

Awesome! Glad I was able to help!

Just to clarify, there will not be both types of brakes in a transaxle, it will have either external or internal but not both.

Ok, THAT makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
