What is this Cub Cadet?
 

I was given this Cub Cadet with no information. The tags on the mower frame by the seat show Mfg. Model #: 14A – 654 – 100 and Serial #: 892659 which when I search on the model # it shows as a Model 3165 BUT the side panels show "1641" --- my question is what model is this Cub Cadet and what year is it.

Thanks in advance!

A picture would help a ton. A 3165 has metal front panels and a 1641 has plastic panels.

Thank you for the quick response and here are some pictures of what I have -- I think that the hood and sides are for the 1641 and I have a 3165. Also, I could not figure out the year based on this model #.

You have a newer model 1641.

Post a picture of the tag next to the brake pedal. That should have the model number.

He said the tag read 14A-654-100
Which in my book says 3165
Built 1998-1999, Series #4 by CCC

Yep, that is what the book says and the internet. Something is a miss, that is a 1641, not a 3165.

Below is a 1641.

Your tractor is a 1641.

Good AM Everyone, I totally agree that something is a miss -- I have been trying to figure exactly what this beast is for months. Attached is the tag near the brake pedal - which shows the model number reflecting that the machine is a 3165. Another note, the serial number seems to be in weird format as well?????

The tag says 14A-653-100, you have 14A-654-100 in the first post. 14A-653-100 is a 1641.
