Cool Yellow fever has struck again!

Well guys, today I was cruising craigslist and came across an ad for a 1650. Made a deal on the phone and this is what I came home with. Runs pretty good. Starts right up. Needs a muffler and a seat. Came with a brand new craftsman seat that I will probably put on since it IS brand new.


Brand new deestone 23X10.50 AGs to boot.


50c deck that looks ok but needs some work.


A snow blade and 1A tiller with both extensions. The blade needs to be blasted and painted, but overall the metal is in fairly good shape. The tiller has had a rattle can paint job at some point in its life, but it's in ok shape as well. Tines are definitely still usable.

And the coolest part of the lot, imo, is the home made box blade. Very heavy duty. Has a cutting edge on the front and rear like the big boy box blades. Even has the bar with cut outs for rippers. (which were not included)





I don't think I did too bad at $350 for the lot. I got both belts for the tiller, and the belt for the mowing deck. I have an extra mule drive with straight pulleys for the tiller, so no worries there.
One thing I did find odd is the hydraulic lever is backwards from both my other 1650 and my 149. Both of those you pull back for up, push forward for down. This one is the opposite..Why would that be?

Great find at a great price. The hydraulic hoses are hooked up backwards. Switch them and the lift will work correctly.

$350 for all of that? WOW! Nice score.. My 1650 was $350 all by itself with MANY problems to fix (including a motor after 1.5 seasons!!)!

That might even be approaching scrap metal value!

Yes excellent score on everything and what a price, wow. Congrats. Box blade is very well built, too bad you didn't get the rippers too. He didn't have them?

He didn't have the rippers. He got the tractor from his wife's grandfather. He was doing some spring cleaning and had just purchased a toro walk behind mower. I think he was more into cars than cubs. He had an old Plymouth in the garage he was getting ready to back half.

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.
