Nice looking 1650! Congrats. You did well especially if ya got it for free. Rear lift and all.

Pull the tunnel cover off and run the lift to see if the cylinder is moving. Probably sheared off the pin going into the rockshaft. If the cylinder doesn't move, then we'll have to dig deeper.

First off I'm jealous you got that for free.

I just finished fixing the hydro lift handle on my 1450. The brass handle broke under the dash where it attaches to a bracket, then linkage to hydro pump.

not easy to get to but I replaced it by getting a new brass handle drilled a small hole and reused the old parts from there. I removed the gas tank to get to it.

First used pliers or channel locks and moved the hydro in and out at the pump itself. if the hydro moves then you know the problem is handle/linkage related.

you need to look and see if the arm is broke or if you are lucky just not attached to the bracket for some reason. since the arm is not swinging freely it probably is not broken but hard to tell without seeing it. a good look under the dash will help.
goodluck-

will do fellas,,thanks for the leads.....does the single handle lift the deck and rear sleeve?...meaning are both connected at the same time and both will move?...or is one connected, and then have to disconnect and reattach the other?

im sure you guys wont remember, but in 2011 i got a 79 1650 for free also. turned out it had broken rings, and a bad hydro..(got parted out/scrapped)so this is my second 1650..1st one was abandoned by my buddy behind his workshop..this one was from a coworkers dad. He died, coworker wanted to get rid of everything. She told me to just take it, but i gave her scrap price minus fuel because it had sat for 6 years and condition was unknown....thankful it started up so easily...a mouse nest flew out the flywheel hole and a rotten mouse went past me head by inces..

Saw this on the early cj 5 site. One lever does both.

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.
