Dad's 1650
I've been visiting this forum for a few months now to get tips and ideas so its about time I say hello. My dad bought a 1650 new in 1976(based on the serial number). My brother ran it for a few years after he bought the old house...until it died. I saved it from being traded in on his new orange tractor and stored it for a few years until I found time to work on it. Well this past December I found some time and went through just about everything that needed attention. The tractor was always taken care of pretty well but there were a lot of worn parts that needed replaced/repaired. The engine had several problems, the biggest one being the cracked head. I had no idea what the problem was while it sat in storage so I was really excited when we finally got it running. The only thing I painted was the frame, the rest of it looks pretty good still. Still needs some minor things but it works great and I just used it yesterday to aerate the yard. This is my first forum post so I hope it works.
