possible 1650 purchase (i bought it)
First hello to everyone and I am so new to the older CC's. I just moved into a new house on 2 acres of ground. I have mesquite trees on the back half but just dirt on the front part. I want a tractor/mower to be able to move dirt around and to mow. A lot of the newer ones seem to be touchy about ground engagement. I was looking at a husqvarna gt24v52ls, which is a 24 horse Kawasaki engine with a 52" fabricated deck. It is rated for ground engagement but is also $3200. so I’m looking for a bit of an older tractor back when they were built better. i found a cadet 1650 on CL http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/grd/2945433433.html he says he put on new paint/decals, new motor mounts. he did a 1250 at the same time and does not know which one got the original cub mounts and not the aftermarket ones. is there anyway to tell? The paint was donw with cub rattle can paint. He said he prepped the metal but how durable is a rattle can job? he said it looks nice but is not show ready (I want a nice working tractor) He did not go through the engine at all besides a tune up, says it does not smoke or use oil. Said teh starter is noisy but that the 1250's was too. do they have noisy/loud starters or could there be a problem. Hours are unknown as well as the year. I forgot to ask him what the serial number was and he does not use a computer (how it got on CL i don’t know) oh well its $1000. Seems steep but another one for sale around me on CL for $650 looks horrible. He says everything works as it should to include the hydro lift. I don’t know at all about this model tractor. is it stout enough to run a small box blade with rippers? It does not have a sleeve hitch so i would have to get one of them. Was a 3 point setup ever an option? I would rather have a 3 point than sleeve. Can the hydro be tapped into to run a sleeve or rear attachments? If not I guess I can get an electric lift. Sorry if some of my questions are way off. So would it be worth a $1000? He said that was as low as he would go and would be taking a loss. How would the quality of cut compare to a newer mower? With what I have in mind doing with it would this model work? If not what should I be looking for? i have seen some quitelines with a lever on the right side but i guess with this being a hydro that the long lever is not needed. I though they were all hydo lifts.

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.
