Default started on my 1650 teardown
So, I finally started the tear-down on my 1650. I guess buying that 42" blade yesterday got me going. Looks like I'm going to need new motor mounts, snubbers, and flex discs, for starters. The last I read the recommendation from the experience on the forum is to buy two sets of CC repro mounts ($20/set - OUCH!) and use them for the bottom mounts and use the automotive shock mounts for the top ones. That still the best option?

Has anyone found an automotive equivalent for the flex discs and snubbers?

Seems like many of these parts are just automotive parts with a CC parts number. The markup seems pretty high for some of these parts.

Ordered a couple hundred bucks worth of parts yesterday. Man, between the QL rubber motor mounts and the muffler I couldn't fit much else in the order, costwise. I went with the CC rubber mounts. Expensive now, but I'm sure I won't regret it. Also bought the new & improved QL muffler. The ad says it's quieter than the original.

I'll have to wait till the wife cools off a bit before I order more parts.

Yikes you spent a lot for a little! I hate how expensive these parts are. I used the automotive rubbers for top and bottom on my 1650. I just put 3 flat washers under the bottoms to get the right height. they work alright i guess. I have some parts kicking around here so if you need anything let me know, I just might have it

Tony,

You did the right thing, by buying the CC motor mounts. When I had my 1250, I got them and never regretted it.

The main things I still lack are the fender pan and seat. Mine are beyond saving. I have a line on a "for parts" 1450 that has what I need, if I can just get a day free to take a drive and go get them.

Now, if I can just get the weather to warm up a bit around here, I can get that thing cleaned up and painted!

Went with the Cub Cadet rattle cans from CC Specialties P/N 759-3258. Pretty precious stuff. A lot cheaper to go with the quarts, but I only have the one Cub right now, and didn't want to have to store it. Besides, rattle cans are spray and toss. No reducers, no mixing, no clean up, etc.

My next parts order will include a seat. I already took a look at the site you mentioned. Great price. That's probably what I'll do. I can't hardly buy a seat cover for that price, and then it would be going over an old pan that I'd have to de-rust and paint.

What I'm going to try to do this weekend is finish the disassembly and clean the frame up. I will have to do the motor mount modification and also repair the front axle mount. The front socket for the pivot pin was torn out of the frame by the PO. I guess he wasn't paying attention and the pin had slipped forward, allowing the axle to rotate, ripping the front socket right out of the frame crossmember. Probably won't get all that done this weekend, but I'll get a start on it. What fun.:biggrin2.gif:

I'll take pics and see if I can get my computer to be nice and talk to my camera.

Just added some pics to the post.

Wish my shop was more presentable. Just haven't had time yet to build the workbenches and storage cabinets yet. Everything is still on the floor.

Finished the disassembly today. The frame doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, except for the crossmember. Next step is to get it all cleaned up and prepped for the repair and to the mod on the engine mount brackets. I'll post pics of the repair to the crossmember and the engine mount mod, once I get around to it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
