the 1641
 

Picked this 1641 today at an auction 350 hrs,46" deck,loaded tires,they said the motor was locked up but I knew better that it may be the starter.
I removed the bottom bolt on the starter by just pulling on it.oh boy.
So I pulled the motor and removed the flywheel and found a piece of the starter and the piece of the block that broke off jammed in there keeping the flywheel from turning.

I have a fix for the starter,there is a threaded hole in the block just below the starter. Any ideas?

I have an idea. :biggrin2:

What is your Idea?
no you can't have the side panels,mine mine mine!

Put it back together and see if it runs. :biggrin2:

Nice find Lew.

I will do that.It prolly will run,but walking is out of the question.
Someone loaded the tires with washer fluid.

Very nice find! I'm sure you'll figure something out. I've used a lot of these in the past, http://www.pemnet.com/

Deck on my 1641 with its' new PTO is working great. R&R'd the deck belt. Now a new PTO belt is in order. 5/8 x 92, correct? Oh, my deck is 48" Model 317.

Any local stores, manufacturers you gentlemen recommend for the PTO belt? Part number?

Nice Cub you picked up!

I put a new starter in my 1641, used socket head bolts when I installed it.

The 1641 I bought had the threads striped out on the top starter bolt and I ended up using JB weld to put a stud in the block to mount the starter. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=36148 Post #49-#65. It would probably a nightmare to get the starter off with the engine in the tractor but that was all I could come up with.
Tankman, for reasons I can't explain my 1863 and 1641 with 317 decks both use a 5/8 x 90 Huskee belts from tractor supply. I ordered a 5/8 x 92 belt and it was to long. Discussion http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=34143

Thanks Cannon51! I'm goin' to try the 5/8-90 belt, it's on the shelf.
After looking at the pic's in the link you provided, all looks well here.

I'll report how I make out with the 90" length.

Put a Huskee Kevlar 5/8" x 90" belt on early this morning. Works fine and, I like the pulley alignment better (the pair of verticals).

Question? Noise? No bearing noise, deck roars. I'm imagining grass flyin' 10 yards out the chute. Am I insane?

Thanks for the link Tankman,I will go with the stud and jb weld fix,Like Sam said I need to get it running first and determine how the rest of it works.
