Hi John,
I was talking to you awhile back about a 1650D I was looking at buying. It was a real nice one but I just couldnt work out a deal. Anyway, I ended up picking up a decent 1850 Gas. It's a 65, NF with Hydra power and 3pt. 

Did they have any trouble with the 310 gas engines? I was thinking of dropping the pan and taking a look and pulling a few rod caps over the winter. Any things I should look out for? I am going to give it a good wash and tinker with it over the winter. I am on the lookout now for a good 5 bottom semi-mount to go with it. Would like to convert it to dual speed PTO as well.
