Default Another Stupid Serial Number Question

Without getting into a whole big thing about the "why" I need to find out what the difference is between the serial numbers on the 1650's.

Apparently the 1650's have at least 3 different kind codes:

0067

0070 listed as a "1650 model 856"

and an 0670 that is listed as a "1650 (hvc)"

Can anyone shed any light on these differences?

What is a "1650 model 856"?

What does the "hvc" stand for?

On a side note, I also have a 1650 that has no "U" in the serial number, anyone know what's up with that?

HVC =

"Back in the days of yore, the Federal Government decided that after a certain date, all motor vehicles (including lawn mowers & garden tractors) had to comply with certain safety and noise standards. I would guess that at that time IH added "hvc" to the model number indicating a Home Vehicle Compliant Cub Cadet, meeting the federal standards. Note that the machine codes changed slightly from 0067 to 0670 at the same time so dealers would know what standards had to be met when doing repairs, etc..."

Well.... I give up on the "Mod 856". I can't find any info at all on it in any book, or publication I have.

As far as the SN# without the "U", I'd say is an oops.

Cub Cadet produced a couple of models for a company called Vermeer Manufacturing Corp. The Cub Cadet 149 was a Vermeer Model 834, and a 1650 was a Vermeer model 856.

You've heard of Hen's teeth right? It would be cool to own one, but super hard to find and pricey if/when they show up, especially if the seller knows what they have. You know one will show up for sale close by to you now.....

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.
