1050 grille emblem
 

I saw a brochure for the 1989 line up which includes the 1050 and non of the pics show a CCC emblem on the grille, the original grille had the holes for the emblem but there was no emblem on the tractor which isn't uncommon. So my question is, should this 1050 have an emblem on the grille or not and if not what year did they stop putting the emblem on?

If you would like the emblem, put it on. Certainly it is not going to hurt a thing.

:ThumbsUp:

The 1050 really intrigues me. Is it also the only model number that they also produced as an MTD 1050? Were there ever any other model numbers used twice?

No, the 1050 would not have had the emblem. According to my book, they retired that emblem (logo) by 1987.

What do you mean? The Cub Cadet 1050 was made by MTD.....
Technically the later model is an LT1050, so it's a different model number.

To add to what Jon said, if you want to look up info on the 1050 you have to search for "1989 1050" or all you get is pages and pages about the later lt1050.

Thank you for the info. I like the look of this solid grille without the emblem better than with but I would have put it on if it was supposed to have it.

Yeah, you probably are one of the few who likes no lights. I have a light panel to put on my 1050, because I want lights on it, but the grill housing tabs are busted off so I can't mount it. I have another housing... or I could fix the old.... but that's time consuming and I haven't gotten to it. I still have the blank top cover, but it fell out a long time ago. The tabs were broke out when I got it and I really don't know what was holding the screen in. When it fell out, it stayed off.

This topic is about "emblems" NOT lights.

:bash2:

LOL.. I actually knew that. But yes I was referring to the 1050 being used twice. I know they are 2 different tractors but what I meant was. I have not seen a new say LT1211 or LT1450.

And Tim, yeah.. when I searched I had to do that. That was sorta why I asked. It seems like the only model that you have to do that with.

Those tabs are always broken aren't they? That and the bottom grille insert ones. I've had a couple of ones that someone "repaired" with L brackets and as long as you don't look too close, it seems ok.

I don't mind the red ones with no lights for some reason, but I don't like it on the yellow/white ones.

I have plenty of tractors with lights so I really don't need this one to have them. The reason I like the no lights look on this tractor is because I think it goes great with the dash that doesn't have any gauges and adds to the no frills look this tractor has to it. The only time this tractor could use lights is if I make it to the night plow at Pa plow day but I have other tractors I could use for that.

The emblem you showed in your other post is not getting put on then?

No. It will go on my 1211. I have 4 emblems and only one tractor that uses them so I guess I better buy more tractors.:biggrin2:

Would the master of Lew happen to have some NOS hood decals for this thing?

Not yet Tim!

If you ever find some I got first dibs. Wouldn't mind a NOS set for my 1211 also.

Wasn't the 782 offered in IH and CCC ?

I wonder if my 1512 had the CCC emblem from the factory? :bigthink:

The 1512's i have seen pictures of had them

Yes and I've always wondered if a red CCC made 782 would have a CCC emblem or an IH emblem.

I'll have to add it to the part to find list. :ThumbsUp:

I've seen a few on eBay.

The red 782's would either have had the IH emblem, or none at all. The yellow/white 782's would have had the CCC emblem, or none at all.

According to George Will's book, the very last red 782s off the line in '85 didn't have all the IH emblems due to parts running out. Other than that, they all should have had either IH or CCC logos/emblems on them from the factory depending on if they were headed to a CCC or IH dealer.

Jenn and I put the IH emblem from 121 on the 1512. It's not correct, but I like it!

This was going to be my suggestion.

I actually bought an IH emblem to put on my GTX2100, but then didn’t do it. If the front grille was flat instead of rounded on the GTX2100, it would be on it. Well I may still do it.......

I agree, you should go for it! I know it's not correct for my cub, but I like it and that's all that matters. :beerchug:

My 1050 does not have a grill emblem.
The original sales literature shows no grill emblem either.

Read post #4.

Two things about that ad:
What deck is that? Looks like a 38” triangle but I’ve never seen that discharge chute on one before.

Secondly it says “3 speed peerless” rear end, but it looks to be a 3 speed IH derived rear end. Did they market them as peerless or have peerless bud them or something?

My future 1282 project will probably have an IH logo. I know it'll be incorrect, but it'll be close enough.

I was curious about it saying peerless rearend also.

"optional electric PTO switch" so it had a manual engaging pto or something else?

I would think the first step to buying a 1282 would be to send the guy selling it a pm.

In the ad, the electric PTO switch is listed as a “deluxe feature”, not an optional feature. Where did you read it as an optional feature?

Interesting that the ad also lists throttle, choke, and ignition as “deluxe features”. I’d consider those to be rather basic features.

That's a 38C deck. It's a little different than the old triangle decks.

I'm not sure why it states a Peerless trans. It's not. But CCC was known to make a lot of mistakes in their marketing ads because they usually were making up marketing posters and such before the tractor even went into production. That's likely the case here. Perhaps the original design was a Peerless transaxle, but was switched to the IH style before full production.

Peerless was used in the same platform on the 1204 and maybe the brochure was modified but they forgot to delete that, who knows. :bigthink:

Weird, they adevertise it like a luxury but in the quietlines they were just like, "yeah, it has a PTO, you get what you're paying for."

All 1282s had the IH logo.
