Default First cub 1641
Hello,
Bought my first cub (1641). I came across an 1863 which is for sale for parts...in particular the hydrostatic drive. I was wondering , does anyone know if the parts are interchangeable between the machines? Would be nice to have extra supplies .

Thanks

I believe the only difference between a 1641 and 1863 is the engine. The 1641 has a Briggs and Stratton 16 horsepower engine. The 1863 is a Kohler 18 horsepower. Hydrostatic drive, axles, tires all the same.

The 1864 and larger super garden tractors are different hydros

Hey thank you ! Im not entirely sure what to expect here ..the machine I bought has 1400 hrs on it but runs smooth and quiet. The drive works well too. Realistically I figure I'll only put 20 hrs on it a summer cutting and maybe a few blowing snow this winter. Got it for 800 bucks. Not sure if I should worry about replacement parts until needed.

Suggest changing the fluid and filter. I use Cub Hytran and a Cub filter. If the drained fluid looks milky (moisture) then pull rear cover after draining fluid and give it a good clean. Fluid and filters are much cheaper than an inopportune failure.

Sounds good, already got fluid and filter replacement but need to find time to complete. The kitchen remodel is taking priority at the current time. I was curious how many hours you can get out of the hydrostatic drive and motor for that matter before having to replace or rebuild. I was told 1400 hrs is getting near that timeframe. I knew that going in though.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
