Picked up my first Cub Cadet
I bought this '77 1650 on Friday. I have some work to do but am hoping to be able to mow with it this week-end.

Those are nice machines. May need some TLC on engine mounts, drive line, change fluid and filter and a general tune up. Looks complete and not badly abused.

Congrats on the 1650. I watched your video and in the intro, I saw a Super Tomahawk chipper. I have that same chipper.

I was a little curious what I was watching when I saw the wrong colors come up, but then I saw that you got it right with the yellow & white!! Looks like a good cub and it runs!! Congratulations on your first cub cadet. Hope your mowing is goes smoothly. Of course, you are going to grease your fittings and check your shrouds for mice nest beforehand, since it has been sitting a while.

I had a '79 1250, very similar to yours. The only thing I didn't like about it was being a Hydro, it would run away on the downhills - freewheel - making it necessary to brake. This, of course, would move the Fwd-Rev lever and you would have to reset it. This was the only complaint I ever had with mine.
My second Cub, a 1440, holds downhills and doesn't have this trait. Of which I am very happy. Good luck with your tractor, it will run for many, many years with the proper care.

run away
Most of the "run away" can be corrected when the trunnion is repaired. I have a 1650 & 1450. that I have repaired the trunnion, replaced the springs and removed the play from the linkages and they do very well in holding their speed up and down hills. Very little to no lever adjusting while on hills.

I put new points/condenser and a new plug in it tonight. Tomorrow it's getting the new ignition switch to correct the charging issue. I should have new valve cover gaskets on Friday to fix the oil leak. After that it should be ready to mow.

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.
