Another Cub Cadet 1650
 

Picked up a 1650 this morning. It's complete with the side panels. I had to clean the carb and adjust the points and it was running. This is my first 16hp and it shakes a little more than the 12hp. I still have a little tweaking to do on it so it runs smoother but it's not bad. The deck bearings must be good because it runs very smooth. Let me know what you think.

Congrats on the 1650!
Looks good!

Great looking 1650 - run mine hard for 40 years and still goes strong. New motor mounts never hurt - maybe a new filter and Hyd fluid. Deck looks good.

iso mounts probably need replaced (as already noted), tighten up the steering, remove head, clean combustion chamber and replace the head gasket, static time the engine, rebuild carb, that's typical stuff.

Nice find on your 1650!

Looks good!
That's an interesting battery box :biggrin2:

Looks good rdmanone:beerchug:

Looks to be all there, tins look good:bigthink:I think that battery belongs under the seat:biggrin2:What is it rotted out or is that where the cooler is?

Nice score on the 1650! The worst part of the battery being where it is would be leg room. I guess you could rest your foot on the battery as long as you're not wearing metal soles. :biggrin2:

Nice find wish mine looked that good . But after my O is done I might set this up for being next
