New member here who just traded into a 1650. I have a couple of questions. First, I noticed that there is a "slot" in the dash, just to the upper left of the hydro control. It looks like something must have been there, but there's no marking on the dash to indicate what it could be. Can anybody tell me? Next, I am missing the side panels (engine covers). How hard are these to come by, and how much should I expect to pay for them? And last, There's a lot of vibration in the tractor. I know that Kohler singles aren't the smoothest running engines, but I noticed that the front of the driveshaft seems to be wobbling a bit when the engine is running. I can't shake it there with the engine off, but obviously something isn't right. So I drove 30 miles to the closest dealer to order a new flex-disc. According to their computer, it should have one disc at each end of the shaft. When I got back home I removed the tunnel cover to check the back one out, and noticed no wobble there. However, there are two discs doubled-up there! Is the dealer wrong about having only one disc on each end of the shaft? Or has somebody done something funky here?
Thanks!
