Hello from another new member with a 1650.:beerchug: Oh that's awesome that you got one with the dual hydro controls. It is the one thing I have been looking for to add to mine instead of the single stick that I have. It would come in really handy for me as I use a plow on mine all the time. For the dirt and gravel I move not to much, but I am going to put it into snow removal duty also. I don't need a snowblower personally, but would pick one up if i found one in good condition. I have a Suzuki King Quad 700 that I use for snow removal, but I am going to use the 1650 also for fun. That and my son and I can plow together now and get more done. I have neither a plow or snowblower for my old JD318 so it was nice that my 1650 came with the plow. If we get a real heavy snow I use my Ford 3910 with the FEL,,no not the most efficient way to move snow but it works for moving big snow piles if I need to. Your 1650 looks like it was well taken care of and kept inside also. Congrats on your purchase! I thought mine might have needed the engine mounts replaced and modified also, but the K341 is a shaker more so than others. Some minor vibration at idle I believe is normal for these from what I have read. I smoothed mine out considerably after I rebuilt and tuned the carburetor, as well as cleaned out the fuel tank and tank screen on the fuel valve. Also a tune up helped allot as well with a new plug wire, plug, points and condensor. It is singing super smooth and quiet now. Surprisingly it runs much quieter than my neighbors new twin cylinder mower does. Have fun and put that good old IH to work!
