Oops, I did it again: Cub Cadet 1650 w/attachments
After redoing all of the associated ISO-mount stuff on my buddy's 1450 a few years ago (which is still working and running great) and having owned 2 1250s and very nice 1450, I decided to take a BTDT approach and swear off all future Quietline purchases. However... this 1650 with attachments came up (5 hours round trip smack in the middle of rush hour, no less) and I decided to bite. I was really after the #2 tiller, but I got everything you see (and even some stuff you don't see) for little more than market rate for a complete tiller setup. Of course I'm missing the long belt and mule drive with the solid pulleys, but everything else is there and the tiller spins free and was stored inside. I haven't had a minute to even get everything off the trailer yet, but visually the tiller looks pretty good from others I've seen for sale. I'm still debating, but I think it will wind up on my worker 125 with hydro lift, so I would have had to get a new belt anyway. I have a couple of spare mule drives, so I may just need to track down some solid pulleys and threaded-bolt tension adjusters.
The other goodies include a lightly used snowplow, chains in an IH burlap bag (nice!) and a PECO Vac that is responsible for the sooty fender and melted right-side taillight  Everything is there for the PECO Vac, so hopefully it will be a selling point for the tractor. The 1650 itself needs to be completely gone through. I was pleasantly surprised to find the motor mounts to be solid and secure and the muffler box to be in great condition. The 50A deck looks promising and spins free and quiet but that's all I know about it for now. The X factor is that the tractor threw the driveshaft for some reason. Broke the adapters on each end and tore up the flex discs. Put some unsightly bends in the hydraulic lines and punched a hole in the hydro filter. I had expected the ISO mounts to be shot and the motor pitched at a jaunty angle that would have caused this, but no, it's right where it's supposed to be. The input shaft on the hydro pump spins free, so I'll just have to put it all back together and see how she runs with a good shaft installed. I'll get the tractor pulled down to the frame and power-washed and cleaned up over the next week and see what I have to work with. I think there's good bones under the dirt and grime and soot, and if the ISO mounts truly turn out to be good, I'm several steps ahead in this project. It did come with the side panels and tunnel cover, and it still has the belt guard for the tiller attached to the tranny. More pics to follow once I get her unloaded...

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.
