1650's are good tractors. We sold a few and never had any problems. There is
a 1250 
still running around just a few miles up the road from the dealership that
I'm 
keeping my eye on

NOT, 
under ANY circumstances, "take back" their $495 welded head to fix a bad
weld after 
their 90 day warantee.  I'll just pray it holds (so far so good) long enough
for me 
to part with it so I can get me a little mid 80's 1650.  I love those
tractors but 
they are so hard to find!
