None the less, it’s pretty cool and I’ve seen some redone ones on here like Tim’s and the new member skippys plus Jon’s worker one and I like the rarity of the one year made part as well.

So is it a 1050 or a 1806???

Buddy if it were an 1806 I wouldn’t have left without it. 1050 my good man, M10 in it.

BTW didn’t the 1806 come with creeper as standard equipment?

It did. 18 for the hp rating, 06 for the number of gears.

No, silly boy. You don't count the reverse gears.


Tim, your 1-5- and mine look almost identical. Tri-ribs on front with fresh paint and the rest of the tractor needing paint, lol. I took the wide lugs off the back of mine, and went to 8.50's. Just haven't upgraded to 8.50 lugs yet.

I like the patina on mine but hate how dull it is so I'm thinking of giving it a light scuff and hit it with one coat of clear.

Well I brought my new to me 1050 roach home yesterday. Ended up working out a deal where I bought some jet ski carburetor rebuild kits for the guy on line in trade for the cub, totaling about $50. Did the usual carb cleaning, pressure washing, troubleshot the no start which was faulty start solenoid and spark plug and the little magnum runs great, no smoke. Also troubleshot the pto not engaging and found the reverse relay coil path open because of the seat switch being unplugged. Odd that these things have a reverse lockout switch in that path too being a manual trans.

Uncle Tim A. Is sending me his old good driveshaft (thanks Tim) and I think I have enough spare parts to piece a clutch together and make something work. It’s missing the implement lift handle for some reason too. Gotta get a battery and replace the iso mounts, and try the oven cleaner deal on this ridiculous paint job. I peeled off the cc logos on the side that were put in the wrong spot and broken anyway and there’s what looks like jd green under the hideous yellow. Oh well, I didn’t go wrong with this one I don’t think and I like the rarity of it too.

I fixed up a 1204 a while back and sold it to a guy at work. This model reminds me of it but I like the heavier duty trans instead of the peerless belt drive one that the 1204 has. I gotta say the peerless in that one has 2,000 plus hours on it and is still doing well.

Anyway, here it is in all its glory. Oh, and it was only ten minutes away!
