Default New here Cub Cadet 1650
I have a 1650 that is currently a non runner. I would like to fix it up, get it running, and use it. How hard are parts to come by? My grandpa was tinkering with it but lost interest. I have found most of the parts he took off of it. I believe it was pretty complete when he got it.

Welcome to OCC! The 1650 is a beast of a machine.

Parts are basically everywhere. Most wear parts are available new (bearings, clutch, springs, switches, etc.) What is not available new may be found as NOS/new old stock or used. Check the forum sponsors or google cub cadet parts suppliers. ccspecialties.org and ihccw.com are a couple parts suppliers I use.

Go to the technical section of the forum and download the owner/operator manual, the chassis service manual and the Kohler engine manual.

Post up some pictures.

Welcome aboard!!

If you have to get into the engine big time it will quickly become pricey.
Figure on at least $250-$350and up for an overhaul and that's doing it yourself.
I am just finishing up an engine for my 1650 and already the bill exceeds $500 w/parts and machine shop work.

How far apart is this machine??
Post up some pictures if you can.

Welcome to OCC..........

I have a 1450 (1650's little sister). It is one of my favorite models. Nice tractor. As stated above, parts are no problem.

I'll get some pictures posted hopefully tomorrow (Sunday). Unfortunately it's in pretty sad shape. I'm wondering if it's even worth fixing. It's definitely going to take some work but I think it would be fun. I do have a question. what does the 2050670 in the first part of the serial number mean? In the little bit of research I've done it was built in Feb. of 78.

Thanks for the heads up! My grandpa had taken all the tin off and that's about it. The engine did turn over but that was a few years ago. My grandpa liked to start projects and then not finish them. He pulled it around behind an old wood shed and left it there. That was 3-4 years ago. I'm sure the weather has done some more damage to it. It's going to take some work. I'll post a couple pictures and maybe get your opinion if it's even worth fixing. Thanks for replying!!!

That is a Model code that IH used.

The "205" means it is a Garden tractor. The "0670" is the actual build model number.

The "U" after the model code stands for USA built.

The numbers after the "U" are the sequential serial number.

I know it must look like an impossible mission with it being a basket case. But trust me and these guys here if you enjoy tinkering and learning it will be a fun project to put humpty dumpty back together and you will not be disappointed. The 1650 is the big brother to the 1450. I got a 1450 3 years ago that was a basket case, kind of what you are explaining. I had never worked on a small tractor or any tractor for that matter, but I love to tinker and I took on the challenge.
One important suggestion, if you decide to take on this project take LOTS of pictures as you tare it down then use the pictures and manuals in the tec section on this site to put it back together, they will answer most any question you may have. If you get stumped on something ask, these guys will help.

This is the thread I did on my 1450 I brought back to life

I'm still figuring out this site but here are a couple pictures of the 1650. I do have most of the tin. I'm just missing the side panels.

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.
