CubDrummer,
I recently purchased a late 70's 1650 and could not be happier since we got the bugs worked out (long story). However, when I was at our local CC dealership I was talking with technician working on my tractor and he made the comment about my old 1650 will outlast any new MTD/CC, hands-down!
Also, like DX3 said these begin to grow on you and you may find several in your shed. I have had mine for a month and already I am planning on another purchase to add to my "toy-box." I found a Cub Cadet model 70 that has been in a barn for the last 25 years. Although all the tires are flat this old tractor is in better shape than my 1650. My wife asked me what I plan to do with the "70" and I told her I would drive it around the neighborhood to make my neighbors envious. Ha.
Good luck with your search and post some pictures when you purchase your new toy. :biggrin2.gif:
Regards,
Jeff
