Not sure I know how to do this, but here goes. I am new to the Cub Cadet world, started out looking for an automatic drive as my replacement hip didn't work out as the brochure claimed it would. Have owned a 216 John for many years, and have to say very impressed with the 1864 I am going to pick up tomorrow.

Welcome from Central Kentucky. I'm sure that 1864 will serve you for years to come.

I'm also new to the group, also from Michigan, and also with a new (to me) 1864. Good luck to us both!

Welcome yblockford. I’m also new from PA. I got a few y blocks also. 54 f100, 55 Fairlane club sedan, and a 56 f350 under construction.

Y block talk
 
Well its good to hear from someone who knows what a Y block is.... mines a 272 that cleaned up at .040 over. small holley 4bbl on top, hooked an FMX behind it for ease of driving. Chassis is a Country Sedan wagon. Someday it might even be drivable.

Here’s my 239 in the 54 F100. It’s bored .120 over (used 272 pistons) Isky E4 cam, crank and rods from a 312. Measures 283” now.
