Cub Cadet 1650

[DustyD212]

Hello,

I just getting a chance to post my first thread. I joined the forum about a week ago, after I received a free running and cutting IH Cub Cadet 1650 in Princeton New Jersey. Its my first IH Cub Cadet and I'm sold. The owner was moving to Maine, did not want to haul this with him and planned on buying a Kubota. At one time he also had a plow and trailer with it, aside from the mower deck and his family had two other cu s prior to the 1650, one being a 102. He listed it free on Craigslist and I was the first response.

It came with the paperwork and the hood side panels and deck cover. I received it from the son of the original owner, I am the documented second owner. It has just over 1100 original hours on it. The unit is in overall great mechanical condition. It will need new Iso motor mounts as the unit rattles plenty. He just put new front tires on it recently, but his mechanic said the rims were rusted where the bead seals, so the air slowly leaks out, so I will have to clean up the rims or add tubes. It will need new front wheel bearings.
He said fuel leaks at the tank petcock, but I haven't seen it and after two weeks air is still in the tires. The rear lenses have to be replaced as their missing, cracked off awhile ago, but the bases for the tail lights are still there. One of the bulb sockets that holds the bulb has to be replaced and I need bulbs. I would like to keep the original tail lights, since I only need a bulb socket, bulbs and the lenses. Aside from that he wired the lights directly to the battery because their was a short in the wiring some place. Aside from that, the machine could use a good repaint and it will be good to go.

Does anyone know where I can source a bulb socket, bulbs and the rear tail light lenses for my machine?
I also need the mounting hardware to mount the hood side panels. I know two are wingnuts, what are the other bolts used and the hardware to mount the belt cover to my 44A mower deck, as all of these pieces were removed shortly after the tractor was purchased, if anyone knows or has photos of the mounting hardware it would be very helpful. A week later I purchased a model #4 dump cart in real nice shape as I will be towing firewood and many other items around. Attached are photos.
Any help on where to find the parts I need or anyone who may have them and where to get a good set of new tail lights if the old ones aren't worth fixing, please let me know. Thank you.
I have a few short videos of the unit being driven, running ans cutting on YouTube if anyone is interested in seeing them.
Its a great machine. Its great to be an owner of one and part of the forum. ��
