New member and a new 1650 owner
 

Hello,

I was shocked to find a cub forum. Cool! :beerchug: Hello I am Nathan, 25 and live in Bradford County PA.

I just bought a Cub IH 1650. It just arrived off the flatbed. It's a little rough and I know I paid more then what I should have for $1000. But the dealer would not go any lower. I guess if you really want it you'll buy it. It did come with the factory plow and three blade mower deck. It still runs and I was just out driving it around. I think it needs an oil change as when I went to full throttle a bit of white smoke was coming out the exhaust. I will need to buy the hitch as there is nothing there. The Hydraulics work fine. I plan on fixing it up some. I love the older mowers and always wanted one with good size rear tires. This has the garden tread tires and are brand new.

I have been 10 years without a rider. My parents divorced and there went my Farmall H.:Mad1:

Anyhoo gotta go. But plan to ask for help with my project.


Thanks,
Nathan

P.s> I run a forum on www.us-aircraft.com as I am a big military aviation buff.

Thanks guys,

This is a cool place!

I bought a sandblaster today. I still want to be able to drive it so was wondering what parts I could probably fix up first without taring it apart and making it unusable? I was thinking of making the mower deck new again. I dont have a owners manual yet but was wondering what size mower deck that is?

Never sandblasted before. The guy suggested I take sand box sand and strain it through a window screen to remove any sea shells. Rather then paying $25 for the "brand" sand.


I would also like to find a hitch. I am not sure what it all looks like. I saw one on ebay for $125. Thought that was a bit much and not sure if everything is there that is needed.

Also what kind of attachments can I use? How can I decifer one brand attachment to another? Or are other brand mower hitches simular/same?

Thanks for any help. Looking forward to learn as much as I can. I am a proud poppa but know its used and sooner or later something will go on it.:Cry1:

It should be a 50 inch deck. Is there a tag? It should be on the left side of the deck.
