Busted fan on 1650
My 1650 was gone over about 5 or 6 years ago before I bought it and not used
much till last summer, it just looked to good to get worked. I never open removed the tunnel cover till last night. My fan looks like a hockey players smile. Only one good tooth and a bunch of nubs. Well I have it all set up for snow removal and we get the better part of the last storm almost 17" and lots of 3' drifts. I plowed for about 45 min. and thought it should get a rest, not because of anything mechanical. Just couldn't stop thinking about the fan and overheating my cub. Well I let it sit and had a cup of joe. About an hour rest and finished the other half of the plow job 45 min or so. By the way that was my first big snow with the 1650 WHAT A MACHINE!!!!!!!! It didn't struggle at all. My question for those with the knows is. In the winter does that fan do much??? How hard is the job to replace it?? (I Don't wanna tie up the tractor 3" more tonight and more tomorrow) and my 102 is in complete tear down.

Just my 2 cents but I don't think the messed up fan will be a problem during winter but you should find out if you have a drive shaft problem and replace the fan for summer and mowing duty.

When you say driveshaft problem you mean loose and woobly I guess. I did grab it tried to move it and couldn't.Thinking back I should have asked myself why did it break in the first place, I haven't looked at it while running. I will do that tonight before plowing. Kind of different I wonder why a log spliter doesn't have a fan

They break because you can get new ones...
most time they break because it is 40 years old and they are brittle.

On mine the fan comes close to the lift linkage, while the cover is off, move the lift,up/down and see if something could be hitting the fan.
Like others said you are not going to do any harm in cold weather. Just to put your mind @ rest, feel your rear end after working it hard, you will be lucky if it is just warm. Well, I better clarify, the tractors rear cover plate I mean

Just from past experience, I can say fans break because the guy replacing it didn't pay attention to the placement of the fan on the driveshaft and when he raised or lowered the lift mechanism, the fan made contact and blew apart. Ahem, now most people would look at that and go no way am I pulling the motor loose again to put another fan it and will just leave it broke. I however will go buy another one and go thru the drudgery of replacing the part I messed up. Just saying.

I went out and checked the drive shaft it seems like it is solid and running true rag couplings aren't worn. Now that I examine it closer this didn't happen recently the breaks are old. That lift linkage is close might have hit it can't tell without a new blade. By the way after almost an hour of pushing of hard packed snow,you know the stuff that the county plow trucks leave at the side of a main road. I have 40' of that to keep open,the rear end was just warm. I'm not going to woory about it till spring. Gotta get my 102 project done.

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.
