Cub cadet 1650 What should I do
 

:Cub7::confused2.gif"

Hi guys I got a 1650 given to me by a friend of my dad's:biggrin2:. the tractor is complete minus the engine :bash2:which he put into his sons 108 for tractor pulling. Im not quite sure what to do with it, :bigthink:should i use it for parts for my two 1450's. I also have a 10 hp kohler and a 20 briggs should i try to put one of them in it? if so what engine do you think would work better would the 10 be strong enough to run the hydrolic lift? I would LOVE to know your guys and gurls opinion on what to do!

I would love to have a 1650, but personally, I would want the 16 HP Kohler! That's why it's a 1650!:biggrin2:

Price was right! Pictures would help:WWP:

I'll post some pictures when i pick up the tractor, I forgot to take them when i went to look at it:bash2:

I'm not sure the briggs would fit. The 10hp might get you going until you can find a larger hp engine. But - keep in mind, there were a lot of 10 hp Cub Cadets that do a fine job. I've got a 109 that I am giving a workout and at first glance, I thought 10 hp wouldn't be enough, but this tractor with 44 inch deck seems to do fine. Easy on gas too.

Good luck,
Bill

you can send it up my way:biggrin2:

I agree I would like a 1650 so I'd hang on to it and try to find a 16 HP kohler for it.

I think the 10 would power it enough but I'd hold out for a 14 or 16 hp depending on the condition it's starting in.

The 10 hp kohler I have is out of my brothers 109:beer2:, he put a 14 hp in it to get more power for lawn tractor pulling:beerchug:. The 10 is a great little engine and it will run the transmition but will it run the lift?:bigthink:

Put a 16 back in it!

How about putting a diesel in it?

:biggrin2:

Depends on what price you can get a decent K341?

I'd throw a used K301 or K321 as they run less. Maybe get crazy and throw one of the mild camshaft grinds in the motor and an engine kit.
