Hi all. Belong to a few other GT sites and liked the looks and feel of this one. I have several Bolens GT's but also have a couple CC in with them. My main mower is CC1512. Mrs. uses a 1018. Have a 1650 without a motor sitting for a motor install.

Yes I did and it turns over a W H O L E lot better. Fires off quicker too. Should have done that last year. Think I can stay with the 450cca battery now. When I think I may need it with the thrower on will plug in the trickle charger and 2 magnetic heaters, one on the rear end and the other on the oil pan.

I would put a block heater in the coolant on the engine. That warms the cylinders and helps it start. Warming the oil just warms the oil. Does heat up the cylinders much.~Jonathan

Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's obsolete!
I've got a lot of Cubs in the barn....but I have more implements/attachments!

Been busy on this end and haven't been on for a while. We got nailed with 10" + snow last Saturday. Sunday was dig out day. Got that diesel fired up OK. Let it warm up some before I put it to work with the thrower. Done a real good job as long as I didn't try to push through it to fast. Was wet and heavy so made that diesel work a little, more than a 50" deck ever did.

Will try and get some pics today. Got another 6" yesterday. Been looking for a coolant heater for the bottom radiator hose but not finding anything that small that will work. Any suggestions?
I messed up and left the key on last time so have to charge the battery up for a couple hours first. Probably right after dinner it will go. Have ice under the snow that could be fun going.
