Default Have problems with my 1650. Trans not engaging.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I'm new to the cub thing, but I have managed to get a hold of three. A 1650, and maybe two 124's. Had one abandoned at the shop for maybe 25 yrs. and finally started working on it. Meantime, I traded for the 1650 and then a friend gave me another 124. Got this 1650 about 6 month ago. Finally got it to run and I parked it to wait until I got some implements to do some gardening.

Got everything ready and now my tractor is not moving. However the implements do lift. Checked the oil and it was really low. Added little more than a gallon. I just wanted to top it off to see if it would work. Will change all fluid and filter later.

Started it and worked the forward control valve forward and reverse and it finally moved forward. A little jerky, but that seems to have stopped. No reverse. I ran it around the yard a while and checked oil once more. Topped it off again. Moves forward but no reverse. After messing with the lever some more it sometime goes into reverse, but very slow and in a jerking motion. There's a 2" hump to get into the shop and it wouldn't reverse over it. No power at all.

The forward movement isn't great either, and I sometimes have to move the lever from forward to reverse and back until it "catches" and goes forward.It doesn't have power. Seems to have a lot of slop in the bracket that actuates the pump to make it go in gear. It stays in neutral and doesn't crawl.

I saw on youtube how to adjust so it stays in neutral, Don't think that's my problem. Anyone have one taken apart, where you could send me or post some pictures of how the brackets are supposed to look when they are in good shape...New condition, so I can compare to mine.

Here's my 1650

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.
