I am rebuilding my 1641 that has been sitting for 7 years in the weather. I'm putting it back together now. While repainting the frame, I sprayed some over the fins of the hydro pump. Now I think this may cause it overheat.
Should I sandblast the paint off the fins or is it okay to leave it alone? Any suggestions? Also I know it was not supposed to be towed but when it broke down 7 years ago I didn't know anything else to do. It may be damaged. I have it on a stand and the forward and reverse seems to work but is there anything I need to the transmission or pump before I try to use it? |

Most people run them with 1/4" of dirt on the fins, do you think 0.002" of paint will matter!!??
![]() I think you are perfectly safe with the paint. Isn't that same hydro used in the 18HP?? ![]() The paint will not heat it as much as 2 more horsepower. ![]() |

Thanks for your help. I just let it go. I don't know any other models the pump fits except for the 1441. Fan was in good shape. I replaced everything that even the slightest signs of wear. It looks and runs like new except now I'm having trouble turning the engine off. I installed a new fuel solenoid and switch but keeps running after I cut the switch off. I don't know if it's a bad switch or what. I can hear the solenoid activate when I turn the switch on. Isn't the switch supposed to cut the engine off by grounding also?

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.
