My neighbors need to be shot! They are pigs. Real trash. And the worse part is... I sold them their house! I guess their memory is as long as the nails.:Boxer::Boxer::Boxer::Choke::Duel:

Thanks ACecil and Diz Jr.. Matt G had me check the engine tag. Looks like it was born a pull start.:biggrin2.gif:

This is the engine tag. :biggrin2.gif:

Hey RPalmer, I got one of those K161 "T" Originals also! #4298. It looks like this one may have the IH Electric Start Conversion kit added years ago.

In all honesty... I just got lucky. Right now it's even a joy just to look at. It will probably take me a couple of years to do.

I was shooting for this month to bring you an engine.... Then I found the OCC. So I won't be seeing you anytime soon.

RPalmer, 750 units apart on the assembly line. They are close enough to be brothers!

And 113 units apart from Kohler. That's pretty cool!

My new project 1650
 

I found this one in the woods at a house I bought. I'm working on bringing it back to life. K341 runs like a top. Haven't yet tried the hydro. Front pivot socket for the front axle is torn out of the frame. Needs a lot of work. I'm going to scavenge parts from a 1450 to get it up and running again. Then the MTD in the background gets sold!

The story is that this one had a sister, bought at the same time. She cough fire and before it could be put out she burned up. Maybe sometime in the future we can get them together. See if they remember one another.:biggrin2.gif:

Here is my 1650 all restored and powder coated

autoace388,

Is all the metal on the tractor powder coated? The color looks really good. You have a very, very clean Cub Cadet!:beerchug:

The only parts not powder coated are the fiberglass dash panel and the main hydro case . I also have a 44'' mowing deck that is powdered as well . It took some time to find a color that was close to the original in powder. I ended up using ''safety yellow'' its a touch brighter in the sun than stock.
