    Looking for some engine bay dimensions on a cub cadet original

    Can someone give me the total height from the top of the frame where the engine mounts to the bottom inside of the hood on a cub original? Would also be nice to have a rough width measurement of the hood in that area as well. Thank you!

    1650 "refresh"

    ok that makes sense now. It still leads to me ask, what is different about all the other previous models? did they have cooling issues or was this just "better"? I ask all this as I prefer the look with them off. even growing up, my grandpa always ran his cub without the side covers.

    may also get some flack for not using a transmission filter off the "official" list but I found that the PF710 from Luber Finer crosses with the WIX 51410 and after a few emails back and forth with their very knowledgable support, it appears to have the same micron effeciency as the WIX filters...

    I get that about the engine shroud covers, obviously wouldn't run the engine without those, guess I was just confused how the hood side panels made a difference. I feel like these kohler engines were stuffed in all sorts of machines and many are open air like that. I guess I'll look around and...

    Curious how that helps keep it cooler by enclosing the engine compartment? I guess I assumed with the side covers off it would be just like the 1X8/9 tractors? what was different about those that let them run without the side covers?

    Don’t be pan to tear it down much. Just clean it up and replace some gaskets. Not sure what you mean by side shields but if you are talking about the hood side panels, I don’t have them.

    Tractor Wanted Looking for a narrow frame tractor for engine swap

    So I’ve only had my first cub for a week now but the inline driveline and larger space under the hood has me hooked. I have a barn full of wheel horse tractors and single cylinder diesel engines. Was going to swap one in to a WH but I’m seeing that a cub feels like a better fit. That said I’m...

    Was going to post todays photos. And yes you are spot on. Aluminum oil pan is trashed. Found a guy through the FB group who has a cast one as well as a fair priced set of OEM engine bushings so I bought that from him. Also one of my spindles is bent. Could maybe straighten it in a press and weld...

    Just posted in the welcome section. about a week ago I picked up a 1650 on trade. Person said it ran but would only move a few feet then stop. Figured it was worth a shot and I've been doing wheel horse tractors for over 10 years so no stranger to fixing old iron. upon getting it home and...

    Hello from West Michigan

    Been active on one of the cub facebook groups but thought I'd hop on this forum as well. Recently picked up my first Cub Cadet. Got it on trade for a extra 3D printer I had laying around. Kind of an odd trade but I'm a designer/model maker by trade and had quite a few 3D printers laying around...
