International Harvester Cub Cadet Model 1650 for sale for $850. I have owned it since 1995. Back then I completely restored it, rebuilt engine, new wiring, etc. dissasembled entire tractor and painted with part # paint. It still looks good but for an old 1650 it's in great shape. It has a 52 in deck, and it will clear a field like a bush hog. It is a great hoss and I hate to part with it but I need the money. (kjb4h-3037547833@sale.craigslist.org)

You're asking me? I bought one with a engine that's anything but good. But I think it was still an alright good deal.
Anyway I'm thinking the 1650 never came with a 52" dech, so it could of been a add on from the PO. location and direction are a big factor in price. Do you have pictures? Also "completely restored" can take on many meanings, i.e. stripped down and painted with auto type paint or just rattle can painted over rusty metal, so that's something to take into consideration.
Also if everything works as the add said, options....
One other thing would be the add where the owner states it will clear a field like a brush hog, has it been abused? Go check it out and try it and see if it's everything stated.
Good luck. But take this from someone who found out the hard way. Don't go looking with blinders on, go with the thought that you don't need it, but you may want it. Check it out good, also before I forget, check the ISO mounts also. Try everything out, remember when you get it home, you will start to see things you didn't while you were looking at it, then it's yours.
