Time to rescue this 1650
I have had a 1450 for years, and needed some parts, so I answered a Craigslist add for parts, and went to pick them up. While I was there, I saw this poor 1650 just rotting away in a pile of garbage behind the house. I asked the owner what he was doing with it, and he said it was a lost cause. $300 later, this poor neglected 1650 was headed home with me.
Right away it is clear to me the front axle pin is loose, and the front axle is rocked forward. The engine turned, so I put a battery in there, and gave her some fuel, and she fired up!! Can't kill a Kohler! My strategy is to tear it down methodically, and compile a list of replacement parts I will need. I really don't know how healthy the engine is, but I don't see myself rebuilding it.   Rear PTO. I am pretty excited about this. I have a pretty good bit of property that needs attention.  I do have sides from a 1450 that I had gotten for parts in the past, so I will be able to repurpose those here.  I'm pretty sure I need a new seat.   Looking very faded and rough. The steering has a ton of slop.  The drive fan is obliterated, and the tunnel cover is gone. I am sure I have one around here some where, but I will need to order the fan.  To the heart of the matter. The fuel tank is gross, and has a layer of shellac in it. I think I will need to replace it.  New rubber? Yeah, no doubt. Front and rear are rotted.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
