1650 repower
Last fall, I picked up a 1650, that would not drive. I got a fair enough deal on it and freed up a some bound linkage, drove the tractor around, and it worked pretty good. I went ahead and did the cradle mod, replaced the broken fan (2x) an installed new rag joints.
I Picked up a front blade for it and pushed snow this past winter with it and began to notice some issues: she smoked a little more on startup if you turned her off, there was no starting until maybe the next day, and only with a jump and she started using oil really bad I decided to do a rebuild, but really wanted a repower (no BS though) i bought the rebuild kit and dropped the k341 off at a machine shop to have the machining done. I still really wanted a repower though, particularly a diesel repower. low and behold, after the machinist began working on the engine I found a deal on a Kubota D722. Score! yesterday (after spending some time assembling the k341) I lowered the Kubota into the frame, and it looks like it will fit nicely, but it doesn't look good for the side panels. My challenges for the repower (that I know of so far) fitting a radiator PTO (I would really like it if possible) side panels will not go on, I am obsessive about things looking like they left the factory, should i switch the grill out to a wideframe (non QL) grill. where to put the fuel tank Pictures will follow as the project actually starts moving on. Suggestions are welcome

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.
