1864 Adventures
 

So i have been on the look out for a 1864 for about a year now and i finally got lucky. Someone scored this as colchester over the weekend and posted it on facebook and i bought it within on 3 minuets of it being posted.

It shows just under 390 hours on its working hour meter, Starts right up with no sign of smoke and looks like it's been sitting awhile. It leeks oil from the front and rear main seals. I just plan to service and fix the oil leaks and use this as is.

I will add pictures later as my photo sharing site is down.

Congrats! A low hour 1864 is a great thing to have.

Gonna have to pull the engine to do the seals, so it's a good time to go through and clean everything as well.

All things considered, the 1864 is probably the best (non-super) GT Cub IH or CCC ever made.

Thanks. I kinda figured but honestly this motor looks cake to pull and service. This compliments my 1512 nicely. I’m hoping to find part numbers for the seals maybe something I can get at Napa and do this week.

It's not bad at all. About the same as an 82 series, but it's lighter. Way easier than a 1512.

I just did the front (rear in the tractor) seal on mine last week. KH-24-032-19-S is the p/n.

KH-25-032-06-S Should be the PTO side seal. I didn't do that one, since it didn't seem to be leaking, and I can do it fairly easily without pulling the engine if need be.

I picked mine up from the local CC dealer, but it's a pretty common engine so I'm sure pretty much anyone can get it for you.

Got some pictures hopefully, i have the side panels it does need a grille shell though.

Thanks for the part numbers there is no real cub dealer near me, i ran them and napa can get them i'll give them a call in the morning.

Nice 1864!
Has the plastic tunnel cover, so it's a 95 or newer?

It's very close to the serial number break i should have grabbed a picture, I managed to just snap these after power washing the filth and oil off it.

Been busy ordering something i need and picked some stuff up at tractor supply earlier.

At tractor supply i grabbed Kohler oil, oil filter and air filter.

Ive ordered so far a new dash panel overlay for the lights and fuel tank grommets. I need to find a used nose.

Used noses are gonna be in similar condition or headed that way soon. Get you a new one while they are still available.
