Default New to me 1650 & 1st Post

I recently acquired a 1650 that has been sitting in a shed for 15 years. It is a little rough but I got it up and running fairly easy.

I have one problem though, I can't get the pto switch to flip. It looks like you may need to pull it up to flip but it does not move. Before I got crazy and broke something I though I would ask if there is a trick to it.

Bob

You should be able to just pull out on the switch and then flip it to engage.

Bob, my 1200 had the same problem because it sat outside for a few years. I sprayed mine down with Kroil and twisted it with pliers to free it up. (the outside of the switch should be able to turn) Then I was able to pull out on the switch and move it up to the "on" position.

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.
