Hello fellow 1650 owner. I too had the same problem with slow cranking on my 1650. I tried other batterys out of other tractors with same results. Here is what I found out. O'rilleys sells a higer cranking amp battery for lawn tractor/mowers that are not on the shelf. You have to know someone there to know they sell them. Ask the sales guy/gal if they have a higer cranking amps battery in back. I happened to have a friend at my local store that is a Cub Cadet guy and told me about the higher amp battery. So I bought one. They are a couple dollars more, like $5 maybe, and are (at my store) on sale for somewhere in the $30 range right now. Got a new one, popped it in the 1650 and "VROOOOM" fired up better than any new battery I have ever put in a lawn tractor. In my opinion the starter and compression on a 1650 may be a little more needy than your normal lawn tractor battery can handle. This fixed my problem for now. I hope it fixes my problem long into the future also as I have always had slow cranking or even no starting on my 1650 sence I bought it.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you and anyone else reading this let me know if this idea of the starter and motor just needing a few more amps to really get cranking. I even was to the point of trying to mount a automotive battery to this thing because like I said it always cranked really slow and didnt want to fire up. Take care and good luck John

There should be a part # on your battery you got that we could check on at our parts stores.

John,
I got mine squared away. It was my starter. I had a spare and both were shot. One had broken magnets and the other had worn brushes. I took the two and made one. It cranks properly now. I was looking everywhere else because I couldn't see me having two bad starters. If higher CCA helps yours, I would start to suspect a poor connection. Putting a car battery on mine did seem to help but it still wasn't cranking right. I would suspect your timing is correct but worth checking. Your compression release is another likely cause. I really don't think the battery is your issue if it cranks others engines, even a 10 hp. There's 4 brushes in the starter. I was working with two. Now all 4 are good and my cheap Advance Auto (375 CCA battery if I recall correctly) battery even with a poor charge does well. Start a thread. It will be running properly with everyones advice. If you have the ability, open the starter and check the magnets and brushes. It's not as daunting as I thought. Good luck.

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.
