My Two Year Addiction With A 1650
This is a two year story of my new hobby. My
Cub Cadet 1650. It was made in June of 1977. I purchased it in June of 2012. This is the first picture with my grandaughter who's name is June. No way I could have planned that. 1.jpg Showing it off on the forums I joined to learn more about Cubs a fellow member noticed the engine was sitting too low in the frame and told me to check the ISO mounts. So out came the engine and the fun of owning a Cub begins... 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg The oil pan was scrap, the pads were wore bad and I milled them down and tried to shim them up with washers. I didn't like it and bought a new one then saw a cast iron one on ebay so I got that one and sold the new aluminum one to a forum member. 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg Next I did the cradle mod welding a bar between them using the old oil pan to get it right. Bought new ISO mounts and snubbers, painted the cradle and put it in the frame. 9.jpg 10.jpg 11.jpg 12.jpg Here is where I started adding parts I didn't need but wanted... I found a lower engine shield, painted it and the cast iron oil pan, put them on and installed a steering up grade kit then installed the engine. 13.jpg 14.jpg 15.jpg 16.jpg 17.jpg I then bought all these parts for the engine and frame... 18.jpg 19.jpg 20.jpg 21.jpg 22.jpg 23.jpg 24.jpg 25.jpg 26.jpg 27.jpg 28.jpg 29.jpg 30.jpg I had to have a sleeve hitch so a forum member came up with all the parts and the 3 point too. 36.jpg Its march 2013 now and I'm waiting for the grass to grow. A couisin from my wifes side of the family calls me and asks if I want a #2 cart for free. This is when I start looking for implements. Two weeks later a different cousin ask if I want a back blade. 31.jpg 32.jpg 33.jpg 34.jpg 35.jpg SEE NEXT THREAD

Its now June 2013 and a forum member is
selling a 54" snow blade. I go to his house and start handing him money and loading up my little truck. The blade,75' weights and a 48" deck. I got a great deal there.I went home and made a set of chains and bought 2 sets of wheel spacers to keep the chains from hitting the inner fenders. I later added more cross chains to the tire chains. I also made a set of weights out of 2 front wheel weights off some other brand tractor and concrete. they weigh 35' apiece and put fluid in the tires. 37.jpg 38.jpg 39.jpg 40.jpg 41.jpg Its December and I'm plowing snow. That was fun,never thought I'd like winter so much. 42.jpg Its March 2014 now and I'm shopping again. Found me a cast iron lower grill housing. 43.jpg 44.jpg Its May 2014 and I'm off on a road trip, just found a tiller and 2 cultivators. 45.jpg 46.jpg I have to stop. Is there a clinic for yellow fever??? I guess another tractor is next, I think I need help or more money.

And that is my whole story minus a few nuts and bolts here and there. I think I may have one of those 3000 dollar machines but its NOT for sale...

Very nice work and great story. Other than the end result which on yours is a very reliable, strong capable tractor, the fun part for me and others is doing the research and gathering all the "need" and "want" parts. Getting to meet with and interact with other people along the way that share the sickness is fun too and a great learning experience. You DEFINATELY made what i call a four seasons cub and although you may have quite a bit of $$ tied up in it and the extras, it will last a lifetime and can handle more than its share of chores for you. Thanks for sharing.
P.S. Posting at 3AM makes you very ill with yellow fever. You need to get another one now to counteract the symptoms

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.
