The 1641 with deck
 

Picked this 1641 up today. The plastic have no cracks. It runs and drives, but the carb needs a cleaning.

Hour machine!

Nice find Lew.

Looks good Lew.

Looks like a fine mowing machine.

Now that is clean. Congrats!

And no rips/cracks in the seat!!!

Lew, I don't know how you continue to do it! Awesome find on a nice straight clean low hour machine!!:beerchug::beerchug:

The only crack on it is my butt crack!

Looks nice, what is the deck? Looks small.

In a more general question, why do so many 5-6-782s (and their newer descendants) have 44s on them? I'd think the higher hp twin cyl tractors would have 50c's or 48/54gt's on them (I realize the 48/54s weren't out until the Cyclops). I've been trying to find another 50 or 54 around here for over a year and it's hard to even find a tractor with one on it. Seems like everything is a 44, or even a lot of 38s. Any ideas? Or people buying cheap when they were new?

Congrats on yet another Cyclops Master of Lew.:beerchug:
You must have all the early IH tractors picked through, and now you're up to this model.:biggrin2:

Looks great! Again, thanks for your help with my (grandsons) 1641.

Perhaps early but, we just mowed earlier this week. The Cub ran and mowed like new. :Salute:

Editing this post just 'cause. The 1641 and it's 48" deck has quickly become our "go to" garden tractor.
With lots of time (retired) and grandsons eager to drive, we're over the top with maintenance.

This weekend, two of the boys are staying with me in the barn.
