    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Thank you for your helpful reply. I made an error w/ my original post in that I replaced the solenoid, not the regulator. The hood support plate was missing. I was able to find one, but it cost $35. You bring up a good point about OEM parts. I bought the majority of them via C&S...

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Thanks for your understanding, insight and kind response to a novice Cub lover. I agree with what you suspect about the repair shop. I'd like to get it running because I know that once it does, regardless of its age, it will be of better quality than most new garden tractors. That aside, I'm a...

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Wisconsin. They're a busy Cub dealer that's been in business for decades, so I suspect they know the ins 'n outs of taking a compression check. Ignition switch, PTO switch, wiring harness, regularor, battery, neutral safety switch, carburetor, battery and a host of non-operating parts that...

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    I bought a 1650 that started at the sale, but wouldn't start once I got it home. I tried part after part w/ no luck. Finally took it to a repair shop where I learned that the engine has very low compression. They've estimated $700-1000 for repair. I've already got $800 invested in the...

    1650 Starting Problems

    The clutch clicks w/ the key on when I flip the PTO switch. No clicks from the solenoid. I confirmed the wiring harness was correctly connected and confirmed the grounds. Shorted the two big terminals on the solenoid. It started, but ran rough as heck and I didn't have enough hands to hold...

    1650 Starting Problems

    Thanks. Bought the PTO switch from CC Specialties (vendor on this site) based on part number in Cub Parts diagram. Switch appears to be in good shape. Thanks for the feedback. You've given me some things to ponder/check!

    1650 Starting Problems

    I bought a 1650 w/ seller's words that "it needs some TLC". Turns out it's missing all kinds of parts and needs major surgery. He started it by touching a loose wire somewhere. Got it home & could not for the life of me figure out how to start it. As I looked into it, I found the wiring...

    1650 Hood Tee Bolts

    Greetings from Wisconsin! The hood for my 1650 is laying on the garage floor because the Tee Bolts were missing when I bought the tractor. I've found them on several parts sites, but the price is as much as $20+ per bolt. There's got to be a more reasonable option. Would someone please reply...
