Kraig M./Steve B.,

I think the 460/560's had the same chrome pointer as well.

Ron,

You are correct, that was a typo....I had the list jotted down on my desk, but when I typed it I skipped from 340 right to 404, accidentally ommitting the 460 and 560!!!!

Nice catch!!!!

Kraig,

"Lots of hours on a 656" ......sounds very familiar!!!!

Unfortunately, with my back still messed up, I'm going to have to skip planting this year.....can't run the 656 on the planter if you can't lift seed bags!!!!

Steve B,
I wonder how those torque figures compare to a CH16, CH18 and the Vanguard 16? My butt dyno says they are probably higher. The V twins don't seem to have the torque the opposed twins had.

 

[sblunier]

CH18 peak torque = 31.4ftlb @2200
Ch20 peak torque = 32.7ftlb @2400

Click the link to Cub Cadet Classics and email Chris, he's carrying those tires now.

Nope.

Ray, mine came with that option also. Holes are welded shut now. It seems 20 some years ago someone didn't believe in greasing the spindles.

Thanks fellas, looks like I gotta couple holes to weld up
