    50*? It's going to hit 60+ here in Virginia this weekend! I guess I'm not even going to get to try out my 682 in the snow this year. Winter, where art thou?

    Oops! Sorry, Ken. I just saw your post was for TROY, not TONY! I had some questions about hydraulics a couple days ago and thought it was for me.

    Ken: Thanks for that breakout diagram. My 1650 has the single-spool valve right now. I think I'm going to get a three-spool valve off a JD (don't worry, I'll paint it yellow!) and add both front and rear ports on separate spools, so I can operate them separately. I'll have to fabricate the...

    Digger, I noticed you have a three-spool control valve on your bucket tractor. Does the third spool control the rear ports?

    Dennis: If I read Weaver's post correctly, his problem is different than what you had. Yours started running rough with an increase in rpm, not an increase in load. If an engine is just running rough, like yours was, the first thing to check is simply engine tune. The cheapest and simplest...

    dlcook: I'd start with the cheapest/easiest fix first. Get a can of PB Tune-up-in-a-Can. Spray it into the carb, according to the instructions, and see if that doesn't fix the problem. That stuff is great! If that doesn't work, I'd look at your timing. Next I'd remove the carb and give it...

    A couple shots of the pin hitch I made for my 682. No big deal, just allows me to keep the ball hitch the PO mounted at normal trailer height and still use my garden trailer at its appropriate tongue height. Made it out of 3/16" steel, but wish I had done it with 1/4". Still, I think it...

    Just made a hitch for my 682, so I can use the ball hitch the PO installed and also tow my garden trailer that has a pin hitch. The ball hitch bolts to a reinforced Cub stock hitch plate and has an upward bend to accommodate normal trailer height. I added a 2" wide strap of 3/16" steel...

    YES! Tightened the governor arm on the cross pin and the governor works exactly as advertised! I can now push to full throttle on my 682 and it goes to 3600 RPM and stays steady. When I engage the PTO the RPM drops a hair for just a second and recovers. Not only that, but when I started...

    I figured out the problem with the governor on my 682. I bought a KT17 Service Manual and page 22 addresses the Governor in detail. The Governor Gear is inside the crank case and runs off a gear on the camshaft. That's why I couldn't find it. My problem is that the Governor Arm is loose on...

    Thanks for the pic, Ken. That looks just like what I have. I'm trying to figure out what part limits the high rpms. My engine revs pretty high. High enough that I'm uncomfortable with it for a flathead engine. Can't figure out how the governor is supposed to work to limit the high end. On...

    Would it be possible for somebody to post pics of the carb linkage for a 682 with a KT17 Series 1 engine? I just picked up a 682 and discovered that some governor parts are missing. The parts breakdown in the manual doesn't show how all the linkage parts are installed. I could sure use a...

    Can anybody tell me what they use to thin Cub Cadet paint? The can doesn't have any information except Cub Cadet and a part number. I'm not even sure whether it's enamel or lacquer.

    Sand Blasters & Air Compressors

    I bought a floor-model blasting cabinet from HF last summer for my 1650 restoration. I have a 7hp two-stage compressor with a 60 gal tank. It runs a lot, but works fine. The problem is moisture here in VA. I had to mount a water filter on the cabinet. this is one of those tools that make me...

    Anyone build a parts washer? - Tell me what you used

    I bought a 20 gal parts washer at HF a couple months ago. Works well. Got it on sale for under $100. It's on sale right now for $99 as a matter of fact. However, you can make one just as effective with 1/2 a 30-gal drum or even a 55-gal drum. Make a rack that lays in the bottom to keep...

    Wayne: I've used helicoils for stripped-out bolts holes in cast-iron auto engine blocks. They are easy, inexpensive, and will hold better than the original threads. There is plenty of metal around the holes in the block for helicoils. You buy a kit that will include everything you need...

    Hey guys. I have been working on refurbishing my 1650. I'll get some pics up soon. I was going to work on my QL motor mounts and do the "mod" when I noticed the oil pan on my K341 needs some work. The PO let the motor mounts get so bad that the mounting bolts in the oil pan got loose, so...

    Wayne: Thanks for the How-To on the steering column. I had already read up on the topic and I've done steering boxes on other vehicles as well, but the problem I had was that the bearing cup I received in my order doesn't look like what the parts diagram shows and doesn't seat well in the...

    Steering box question. I destroyed my adjustment plug while trying to remove it, so I ordered a replacement (from our esteemed sponsor - CC). It's a very nicely machined aluminum part, which has a bearing race machined into it for the lower steering gear bearing. However, I'm a bit skeptical...
