New 1050
 

I just picked this 1050 up from the same guy I get all my cubs from, actually it was sitting next to my 1811 before I bought it. It had been sitting in the same spot for 3yrs or more but I put some gas in it and hooked up the jump pack and it fired right up and running really smooth. The tractor was covered in green mildew and it was so dirty you couldn't even tell what color it was but as you can see it cleaned up pretty nice.

Good score Tim. I really like my 1050. And my 1811.... :biggrin2:

Very nice Tim.:beerchug:

1050
 

Looks pretty good Tim

Here's a pic of the inside of the side panel, this is how dirty the entire tractor was. I'm really happy with how clean the engine compartment came.

I lovED mine, too :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Very good Tim,does a 1050 have wiring for lights in the harness?

This tractor has headlights and taillights and they appear factory.

Very good,I will have to get my drone to fly around your area see whats available...

Anytime you want to come up you're more than welcome, just bring a big trailer.:biggrin2:

Thanks Tim for the offer,how is the clutch?

PTO or drive clutch? The drive clutch seems fine, I've yet to test the PTO .

What engine is in that, a Kohler? Looks a bit underpowered, tell me its a 14 or 16 HP. Nice looking machine you have there if it is all original.

It's a Kohler 10hp magnum, I think it will mow fine with the 44" deck.

1050 has a 10hp Kohler Magnum. (K series with a magneto)

The 1050 was wired for headlights.... just didn't come standard with them.

What he said.

I honestly don't remember this model back when they were new. Dealer dad worked for may not have stocked it. Basically is it a later version of a 582, with a smaller Kohler single cylinder? Was this built the same time as the 1810? The dealer dad worked for inventoried a pretty big jump in machine sizes. He had the small lawn tractors up to around 13hp. Then he jumped up to garden tractors with 17+hp engines. Also stayed away from the diesels. How rare/odd is this model?

Yea its basically a 582 with a single cylinder Kohler, I hear there rare but I've never heard an exact production number.

Just for clarification this has a good 3 speed rearend not the crappy peerless rearend.

It's basically the 1000 replacement. No model like it in the '82 series. It does have an aluminum rear. They were only built in 1985. Not many produced. I can't find any production numbers.... even in my super secret file....:bigeyes: but they didn't make many. My guess is around 4 or 5000. The 1806 was its big brother, also a rare model. I'd like to find one of those.....

There's 1 more 1050 and 3 1806 where I picked this up at, I was gonna go for the 1806 but none of them have good engines that don't smoke.

Thanks for clarifying guys. So if this one had an alum rear, how about the standard 582 (not 582 special)?

Wha'ts the plan for this one, restore it since it is a bit odd?

I can fix a smoky engine....:biggrin2:
Man, I wish you were closer and I didn't just buy Christmas for 5 kids......:angry:

582 could have a CI or AL depending on when it was built.

I just didn't want the hassle of another twin, I'm not made out of money and rebuilding the 10hp will cost far less if I ever need to.

OK, gotcha on the rear end matl.

While I'm dragging this off topic a bit, what was a 482? I'm thinking a garden tractor with a single Kohler? Maybe this 1050 was closest to that one?

482 had a B&S single 11hp with the Peerless 4 speed trans.

I'm not made of money either. We just do opposite things. I have no problem overhauling an engine..... but it takes me forever to paint. I have the equipment..... but not a paint booth, or good "prep" area.

Thanks, never got to see one of them in person.

Id go ask about the 1806's ! I found one that needed and engine, I'd probably put my spare k321 in it! Couldn't be that hard to put it in.

he has one for $200 with a locked engine and i didnt ask about the others, kinda hard to remember the prices for all the stuff he has. over 100 tractors and mountains of mower decks and engines and everything in between and its all cub no off brand.

"Lalalalalalala" ..... I'm not listening!!

:Shhhh::Shhhh::Shhhh:

im sure fastenal could get it there for you.:biggrin2:

I would like one of the 1806's but it is far fo me but I sure would like to see his place with all the Cubs.

Your not helping.....

next year when i go to gatlinburg i'll bring one along.:biggrin2:

:drool2: so, 1806's huh, I would almost trade one of my 1864's and 1450 for a 1806

Are.you sure about that? From the info I found they were only built in 1989.

Bring a couple and I will meet you in gatlinburg. I have engines.

Nice find on the 1050!

Yes, you are correct. I didn't realize I hit the 5 and not the 9. Sorry about that.
