1050 good idea or not

[DieselDoctor]

Jon - still learning the model numbers for gear and hydro. My bad!

Mike, we ain't in PA! How many 1050's have you seen down here? Jump on that sucker....you need another project anyhow.

[zippy1]

$100? And you're asking. Come on Mike, that's like, almost free around these parts...

[Dirty Steve]

Try to get it for $50.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I’m going to contact the guy again. He doesn’t know cubs and has it listed as a 74 “club cadet”. I was fully expecting a quiet line or so and when I saw it I almost freaked out that it was an 1806. 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.

Mines not painted, it's all original minus the wheels and tires but I have the originals here if I want to put them back on. The 1050 was a bare bones tractor, no amp gauge, no hour meter and no lights but the wires were there for lights to be added. The 1050 has a rubber mounted engine but the mounting system is completely different than all the other rubber mount engine and is much better imho, my 1050 is the smoothest tractor I have besides the 782.

It's still weird to look at the dash on my 1050 cause the only thing it has in it is the throttle and PTO switch.

I had one with a destroyed clutch and trans but had a new replacement motor with 350 hours and a great body. I paid $200 and sold it for $800. I put a cast transaxle, new clutch, headlights and an amp gauge in it. Ran and mowed great but that 44" deck could make that 10hp work in heavy grass. Buy it you can put anything in it. Mike

I had one and I traded it in on my 1572 in 1998. I got $1000 in on trade. It was in great shape. I liked it ok. Mowing with it, 2nd was too slow and 3rd was too fast. Just my experience.

I didn't mow much with mine but I found 2nd gear to be perfect for plowing. Just listen to that aluminum rearend sing.

Here's a nice 1050 that's been on Craigslist for a few weeks. I kinda like the look of the solid mesh with no headlights.
