That's a good looking cyclops. Good luck!  |
Thanks guys, she is going to be a keeper for sure. I've been slowly "upgrading" since I got into Cubs, and now about the only thing I want that I don't have is remote hydraulics but that's not a big priority. I'm going to give this a good going-over. BTW, it's not the seal behind the flywheel that needs replaced, it's the seal behind the PTO that's leaking. Before all is said and done, I plan to:
-Replace leaking seal
-Remove seat, fenders, and fuel tank and clean it all up, along with the trans. I'm wondering what condition the trunion is in, the little bit I drove it it wanted to creep faster and faster.
-New fuel line and tank bungs, clean shut offs as well
-Replace the drive shaft boot on the engine side, it seems to be half missing. Since I'm going to be swapping engines from the 1863, I may take the drive shaft from that while I'm at it.
-Trans fluid change & new filter
-Clean and repack the steering CV
-Swap motors from the 1863 (and clean up the 1864 motor while it's out before it gets its new home in the 1863)
-Keep fridge stocked
-Other little things I'm sure I'm forgetting
Once I get it all cleaned up and the engine swap done, she should be good to go for many years to come. I've just got figure out why it dies after a while as is. I'm wondering if it's a coil, is there anything else electrical on these machines that could cause it to cut out after running for a while?

Sam, how bad is it to replace the axle seals? I just may have to do that while it's going to be apart. Also, any electrical issues that could cause it to cut out after running for a while, other than a coil? I'm pretty sure the coils are good, I can pull one spark plug at a time while running when it cuts out (as long as I idle down to keep it running) and it keeps running on one cylinder. The thing is, when it does die, it starts right back up and runs fine for a bit again, then cuts out again; no real time in between for anything (coil) to cool down.

The guy that gave me the 61 has a thrower and a snowplow that he said he was going to list this fall. I can let you know if they come up, I haven't decided if I'm going to do snow with mine or just use the 782. I'm thinking I'll be hearing from him when he does.

That's a 48" deck on the 1864. I've got a 54" that's doing to end up on it once I get it all straightened out.
I hate thinking about winter, seems like it just got over, but it's never too early to start planning, I suppose. I need to find a WF Blade and then a 2 stage blower for the 1864. My snow killing team should be a bit upgraded from what it was last year
