If anyone is wondering, as near as I can tell by my bathroom scales, I weighed my K341 with cradle = 127 lbs.

My hyd. control lever looks different than what I see in a diagram. Mine has a roll pin fastening it to the arm. Forgive me, I don't know how to link to diagram.

MAJOR WIN TODAY!!!!!!! After a couple months of taking my time tinkering, adjusting, fixing, modifying, replacing and checking things, I finely got enough parts back on it to fire it up. It runs GREAT!!! I cant believe how smooth and quiet it is compared to my 147s. Looks like the lack of a condenser was my problem before. This maybe why the PO never had it running that I know of. It ran so rough before it knocked and shook so bad that I was afraid it was going to break a rod or crank. I am a very happy man now. Still a lot of work left to do, check timing with a light now that I have the timing mark painted on the flywheel, change hyd. oil & filter and adjust trans. linkage to get it to sand still when in neutral. Later.

Just finishing up the last details. What is the proper fasteners to hold the mesh grill screen on? My grill was wired on.

Seriously, just as long as the condenser is wired between the negative of the coil and the points, it does not matter WHICH end you attach the wire. It is important the body of the condenser is attached to a good grounded source for it to work properly.
I still get a chuckle about the witch Billy. Spell check is not fool proof.

Back to the beginning, I never did say how this all got started. I was not really looking for another cub cadet, but I kept passing buy this 1650 between town and home for several years. It sat out by a shed for about a year, then got pushed out in the weeds behind the shed for a couple more years. One day I saw a guy working out by the shed so I stopped to check it out. Guy said it belonged to his nephew so he texted my number to him. I thought he would probably want way more than I wanted to spend because along with the tractor was a decent looking 44in. deck, tiller, bigass 44in. two stage snow blower, I think it's a 364, tire chains, 2 spare spindles and blades, and a snow plow blade [ no frame ] that does not look like anything cub cadet. The owner called me the next day and asked me if I would give $100. Hell yah
It was a couple days until he could get together with me to close the deal and all the time I was worried that he would talk to someone and they would betterdeal me out of it. It all came together and after to many hours of tinkering and about $200 in parts, it runs great, deck is ready to go, and snow blower seems to work ok. Waiting for snow to try it out.

That's a heck of a deal. Congrats!

Here's what you need to hold the grill in place.
Either those or a couple of #10 bolts, flat washers and ny-loc nuts

Isn't a hoot to take an old neglected machine and to get it working again?

Very cool....good job!

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.
