1641, finally have a modern-ish cub.

Post by A.W.Gonya »

Traded a K301 to a buddy for this 1641, no they don't measure up to an 1811, but with a little work we will make a nice tractor out of it.

Yes, I need to make some new hood hinges....

Nice trade! Modern-ish cubs need super glue to stay together! :lol:
127, 1650, 1572, 1872, 2072 . A mower, blower and blade for each.

Good little machines if you can get use to the different sound and action of the hydro. The vanguard 16 has plenty of power. Have you got to run it yet? When I ran my first cyclops, I couldn't believe how tight they steered.

Aaron , does your dad know you stole those hinges off one of his barn doors ? :D
I also might know someone that has a grill for that tractor .
I see a lot of cub cadets while going down the tracks , its a shame I can't pull over and ask about them .

Picked up a 1641 'bout a year ago.

Becoming a favorite, Grandsons love the hydro!

Would like to locate a few adders. Angle 'lectric or hydraulic for the 42" blade. 3-point for the rear end. Angleing for the blade, need that! ;)

Earlier this year a 1641 also became my first Cyclops.

It only had 200 hours on it and I couldn't say no. I wanted something just to mow with and didn't want to worry if I put a scratch in it unlike some of our show tractors.

I threw on some ag tires that I had laying around and I have mowed with it all summer. I did not have any trouble with it and the 46" GT deck cuts really nice.

So far I have been pleased with it and it will continue to be my main mower. My preference is still for the older iron but a nice condition Cyclops may just catch my eye.

Every story is useless without pics so here are mine.

Oh I also added some matching ag tires on the front, just for "looks".

Nicd Cubs. Mr. Smith doin' a great job out in Pine Grove.

The 1641, I would say my 1st Cub. I did have a couple over the years but they were riding mowers. So far plowing snow, mowing (48" SD deck), pulling wagons, grandsons love the hydro. The 1641 handles all well, very

Have not done much to it lately but we did find replacements for the hood and nose.
