Identify my tractor
 

Hi,

Just bought this old girl the other day. Can' find a model number. Obviously a different engine has been cobbled in. It has a hydrostat drive and does have a hydraulic lifting mower. Any info would greatly be appreciated. Want to clean it up, go over the chassie and put on a few missing pieces like the grill and knobs etc. Want to use it to mow grass on the farm.
Serial number is 2050067U550563

Thanks
Brent

Would love to try, but on the serial no. pic I cannot make out any difference in 5s and 3s. Not gonna guess. It is definitely after 79. Lived a horrible life for what I see. Wanna see some of its 'life videos' and kick the owner for each abuse it lived thru. Mine is older than that and looks better.

I edited your post to add the 3 at the end. It's a QL tractor with the tiller gear box still on the back. It's sun faded but not as bad as William is making it out to be.:biggrin2: I'm betting your going to find some pretty special PO mods once you get working on it.

If I didn't tunnelvision on the pics i would have seen s/n nicely written out. Lots of description. Sorry for all who read my last posts.

made in 6-7/1980. Im guessing a 1250 or 1450 cut to fit a B.S. twin .

WOW, you got yourself a 1650 made in April of 1975. Congrats. The big boss 16hp single cylinder. Congrats.

1980?? Am I seeing the serial number wrong?? :bigthink:

LOL, I just saw the pic. Used to be a single cylinder 16hp.

No, I think he is. My 682 is October 1979; I don't think they made QL and 82 series concurrently.

Im sure it was me that was wrong. Sorry fellas got a lot going thru my mind today, and to tell you the truth, it took me forever to find the production list.

Ain't no biggy, I was just making sure my monthly serial no. report was right. :biggrin2:

why use that when you got that beautiful looking John Deere 318 in the background?

i wonder how it works with the big B&S twin in it.

I knew I'd hear it about the JD! Just got that too. But here's the scoop. I decided my sister-in-law should have one because she gives us meals at harvest time and I really appreciate that. They have a big front mower jobbies that she does not want to drive so she pushes around a lawnmower.
I wanted a hydrostat for her to drive. Not a whole lot of vintage quality garden tractors in Saskatchewan as I guess most of the yards were cut and baled by bigger tractors at one time. Working on a budget this is what I found knowing that your getting some good value in quality built stuff. Going to give it to her as a surprize. Incedently my older brother and I have a bad case of iron fever. Got a 10-20, 15-30, w30, w6, w9, 350, 450, 650, Case tractors, MM tractors, Olivers etc. I would like a Titan because my grandpa farmed with one, but really don't think I could ever afford one.

welcome aboard Brent! What size engine is that shoehorned in there? The tractor looks a little rough around the edges but the nice thing about these cubs is you can always bring them back up to snuff.

What are your plans for it? I'd treat it to a coat of paint and a new seat as time and money allow.

550563 was built in April of 1975. I would say it is a 1450 or a 1650.

It's a 1650...

Here is some more disassembly pictures. I think he kept her well oiled. Shame how the engine was butchered in. Is that the flex drive the cubs use? Want take the steering wheel off, any hints or tricks to make it easy?

your drive shaft isn`t in line with the tranny

basically the motor is not down far enough thats not good

I HATE PO MODS WITH A PASSION:angry::bash2::bash:

poor lil cc. where's the PO? :Choke:

I wonder if the motor came out of a 582, 656cc is 16hp. :bigthink:

pto clutch
 

The electric pto clutch is missing. Mrcubcadet said the 656 cc Briggs engine was used in the 582. A 582 replacement clutch/pulley assembly then would be the correct one to get I guess. I can't figure out the part numbers of the various on line vendors so I could buy one. Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks
Brent
