Default Bringing a 1650 back to life!

Well I bought a 1650 no start a few weeks ago thinking I would at least pull the hydraulic pump or whole rear end to add a 3 point and hydro lift to my 129. Especially after the engine wouldn't turn and the PO cut the drive shaft because he couldn't figure out how to get it in "neutral".

But I was removing the rag joints and bolts from it to put on a 1200 and thought i would try to turn the flywheel over one more time and it turned yesterday! Well I put the starter back on and it cranked! After fooling with the points till late one night, MrCubCadet convinced me he could make it start when I picked up a plow from him. So I packed it up and hauled it for 2 hrs along with a blown 109 for him and an 882 to show off.

He had it running in 10 minutes! we started putting it back together (a newer shaft and gas tank back on etc.) We started again and reved it up but heard a clatter in the engine. I was so depressed after she ran for just a few minutes. I have never went past the valve cover in any engine. Well he was confident it was the rod not tight. We pulled it off and in 20 minutes he had the oil pan off and sure enough the previous rebuilder had not tightened the rod to the crank. There was about 1/4 inch of slop and the crank shaft had been scored as you see above. Well he called his engine expert and we lightly sanded the crank. Just need gaskets, and rod! Hopefully next weekend this puppy will be tilling and plowing.

PS Sorry 4SPEED (Doug) I didn't bring anything to help you plow this weekend. I did buy a Brinly U adapter sleeve hitch thing. Just gotta spring $500 on the 3 point for the 882 and we can plow with it or the 1650 with chains and a little weight.

Big thanks to MrCubCadet for all the help and knowledge!

Yes, today has been an exciting day!




We got the rod, and gaskets ordered...and should most likely have it done by next weekend. As Joe said, the rod journal and crank were very scored...but light sand paper is smoothing most of the scouring out of the crank. After sanding more, and maybe lightly honing the bore...I will try to get some more pictures tomorrow.

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.
