I have been using my 1604 around the house some, and the more I use it the more I like it. I have been thinking some, and that of course is dangerous LOL.. Will any of the heavy duty type rear axle/transmissions fit into my 1604 ? I have a older 128 for parts and thinking of using it to swap the rear axle/transmission clutch drive unit into my 1604. I have read the 1604 the same as a 582 special, my 1604 has a peerless type transmission with a outstanding B&S 16 HP engine.

If this garden tractor had a good rear end/transmission in it I would not hesitate to call it one of the better cub cadets I have owned!! I like the frame, the engine etc, and it's in great shape, and no problems yet with the rear end.. but then again I'm afraid it to use it as a real garden tractor.

Any info would be helpful as very little info found searching the web. What frame is the 1604 compared to more well known models ? also I have a lathe, and some shop tools so I could make or modify parts needed to a point.

Thanks, clint
