[cubs4lifeofme]

Looking at a 1684 tomorrow with 50 " deck. anyone have any experience with these ?

I could not find a 1684 being made so I asked him to double check = now he says 1641 and they didn't come with a deck bigger than 48 " from factory....

If it is a 1641, standard decks were up to 48", but you could add up to a 54" with an adapter package. BUT! Since the 1641 is has a Briggs 16 horse, and is pretty much gutless, you'd be hard pressed to use a 54 on it unless you mowed your grass when it's 1/2" taller than what you want it to be, LOL

Had it bought but it wouldn't back up onto my truck, is there any adjustments on the reverse to get it to work better ?

Digger, I thought those B&S Vanguard V-Twin engines were tough and had plenty of power. I have the 1641 and was thinking of a bigger deck some day. What gives?

thanks, Kelly in Piedmont SC

I have the 1862 with the Kohler mag 16 & 54" deck. No shortage of power if you mow grass and not weeds, mow your lawn and not a hay field, and travel at a reasonable speed and let the flyers to the JD commercials.

M18 has a flatter torque curve and two more horsepower. Not really an apples-to-apples comparison.
