Another 1604
 

Hi, I'm new to the site. I to have recently purchased a CCC 1604 in what I think is in pretty good shape and about 800 hours on it. I bought it mainly to cut the grass in my woods as well as pull a 10 foot utility trailer into the back yard for storage. The guy I purchased it from told me the B&S motor was cast iron, but I cant confirm that. Also, I have read that the transmission is alluminum on one site ans cast iron on a different site, what is true? Anything to watch out for? It starts, runs, idles and cuts well. Can I put a sleeve hitch onto this machine should I ever want to? How about a front end loader for mulch and top soil? Any input anybody feels like throwing my way would be great. It is difficult to find info on the 1604. THANKS!

Well said Allen!

I can tell you what material your cub transmission is made of, but I can tell that it is not one of the heavy duty cub transmissions. It's actually built by Peerless. It's not nessessarily a bad transmission, it's just not as stout as a IH or cub cadet built one. A lot of garden tractor manufactures used Peerless transmissions with great sucess.
