1650 with engine knock
 

Is what the add says about it. Will be sold at rummage sale in a few days.
I know nothing about the 16hp motor in these. He says it runs but has the knock.
Wants $450 for the tractor and deck. looks clean


Any thoughts?

If it's really knocking and it's not numerous other things rattling, I'd say that's pretty high for a tractor that's going to need an engine rebuild.

I wouldn't pay more than $300..And for that I would buy it to fix myself, and not have much more money in it. :beerchug:

Thanks For advise
Looks great, but if the motor needs rebuild I guess I should avoid this

:bigeyes: Wow!...That is nice!


See how much you can get him down..and go from there. I do have to admit, even though it might not be worth it...I would have serious issues trying hold my self back at $375! :biggrin2:

That is a sweet looking 1650. I would buy it and fix the motor. Hard to find them in that kind of condition. At least it is around here. The 16hp engine is a beast.

I think its to nice to pass up as well. Will show up and go for it-but not at asking price. Only 8 minutes drive from my house

Like I said have not redone a motor before. Maybe asking for a lot of help on here!!!

Or about how much to redo it if I pay someone?

To just 'stop the knock'...It probably wouldn't cost much more than $150. :beerchug:


I replaced a rod and filed down the crank on a 16 HP engine for Jluster, that was knocking bad, recently..He didn't have much money in it at all. :ThumbsUp:

I'll give you this, at least the seller is letting buyers know that the engine has problems and didn't just paint it up to make it pretty to sell with obvious problems. I think the price is high with an engine knock, and "restored" is slightly misleading if the engine is going to need work. I wouldn't go over 300 either.

Agree 300.00
 

It's a real sharp looking 1650, looks like he took care off it. If you don't have the money for the rebuild now you could always put a 12hp or 14hp out of another QL for very cheap and in time fix the 16hp and put back in. Just another option if you really want it.
