Identification help?
 

I'm going to meet the old guy who owns this Cub this coming Sunday. From what I can tell it is not a model 71.. so I believe he's meaning the year 1971. There are no stickers that can be seen in the pic but Im confident it's a 100's something. The oblong gas tank is throwing me off a bit though.

Any help from you gurus?

looks to me like its a 1250....it a quiet line judging by the grill, and dash setup. its not a 1450 or 1650 judging by the manual lift lever....so my guess is a hacked up 1250 cub cadet.

What is up with that tunnel cover?!

I agree with Shaner, probably what is left of a 1250, with the hard to find low profile plywood tunnel cover:biggrin2:

Thanks! What makes you say hacked up? If it is a 1250 then all I really notice is missing side panels.

Interesting gas tank, as well :biggrin2:

It took me a minutes to figure out where the tunnel cover was. It just looked dirty to me, and not wood grain. Yuk I hope it's not plywood.

Does it look like the generator is backwards to anyone else or is it just me?

Correct muffler/ shrouds are gone, PTO looks to be gone, side panels ,tunnel cover and gas tank heat shield are gone, wrong gas tank. That's just what I see, could still have the typical QL issues like worn out motor mounts and oil pan. If you get it really cheap it's still worth having, but it needs a lot of work.

Edit: Seeing the pic you just posted it has the wrong engine altogether, it should a ring gear starter. The frame has been cut to fit it in there, looks like a hack job.

Hmmm.. the guy is asking $225. I figured I could talk down to $200 even. But if it's a 1250 and if it's really missing all that then yeah I don;t want to have to put in another couple hundred.
