Todays pickup was good
 

I picked up a MTD 1641, came with a 48" deck with a seized spindle, crack on the nose, and side panes are missing the top tabs. It 940 hrs on the clock. I heard it run, but it shuts off after a few minutes, maybe a fuel shutoff on the carb. Looks to have been always stored inside.

Lew Da Cyclops Man! Nice find. :beerchug:

Thanks Sam, They are ugly but it is what it is.

"Well, isn't that, special"?:biggrin2:

"And on the eighth day, Lew picked up another cyclops":biggrin2:

Way to go Lew, nice find, if you like that sorta thing:beerchug::biggrin2:

Looks good to me Lew. You'll have it up and running in no time.

Looks great! Plan to turn the Cyclops over?

My only Cub, the 1641, is growing on me. Grandsons want to sleep in the seat too!

no wonder i cant find any,lew has them all

Thanks guys.

Well it runs now,someone didn't tighten the nuts on the valve cover that supplies vacuum to the fuel pump. Tight now and some new hose and it is fine now.

There is a 5 sec delay before it turns off after turing off the key off.

Kill wire circuit isn't working properly. it's shutting off with the fuel shut down solenoid.

if its a vangaurd it needs the ignition coil kill harness
