Congrats On the FEL, you will love it! You will also find that 1650 is a tough little machine.

That's not ugly, it matches the loader. Like in the old days, you can have any color you want as long as it's black. Congrats. Mike

Thanks for the responses and concerns. For everyone's information I have been operating loaders on the farm since I was about 12 years old. First one was on a Farmall M without live hydraulics and no power steering. When loading manure you had to ram into the pile then hit the clutch and put the trans in neutral to attempt to lift the load with the old belly pump hydraulics, only way to turn the front wheels was when you were moving and then it was all you could do to turn it. In 1974 we finally bought a IH 674 with a 2050 loader. I never new operating a loader tractor could be so easy after that. I also currently have a 1944 M with a IH #30 loader. I have live hydraulics on it and have a Charlyn power steering set up for it when I get time to install it. So yes I know how to safely operate a loader and will make sure the wife knows how to correctly and safely operate it also. Our plans for it are for loading mulch, compost, yard work etc. When it comes to heavy lifting I will get out the M.

My concern isn't your experience Fred, it's your wife's experience. I too grew up farming and have been driving machinery since about the same age. I've operated any and all equipment from lawn mowers to dozers, cranes and trackhoes. Had a Class A CDL since 19.... but my wife..... when it come to equipment, she's a newbie. I have been very impressed with her ability, but I wouldn't hand over a loader tractor to her..... even on a garden tractor. Again, just concerned about safety. At least a SCUT has a roll bar and a seat belt. I'd feel safer putting her on one of those. But, I'm a guy who is pretty safety conscious when it comes to new operators.
I'll drop it though. Just voicing my concern/opinion. |

I am probably older than many on here. Lets just say that I am drawing SS and have been on Medicare for a few years. I also am very safety conscious when operating any type of equipment or machinery. But again thanks to all for your concerns.
Now back to the rest of the story. Today I decided to replace all of the hoses on the loader and flush the system. I also drained the rear end and replaced the filter. Trans oil looked good. Tomorrow when my new hoses get done at the hyd shop I will get them all installed and test out the loader. I need to get back on my 1872 project and finish it up before the warn weather hits.

Well yesterday I picked up my Hyd hoses and boy have the prices gone through the roof. When I replace hoses on our farm equipment I just have them put on our account and normally do not see the price. Lets just say that $400.00 plus is not what I expected. After removing the old ones I an glad I replaced them all, they were due. I have to make up a mount for my filter and refill the transmission and loader and it should be ready to go.
Later Tom |

Seems high to me also. I don't need one too often. I had a hose made up last year to replace a steel line on a combine and didn't pay attention to the price, I just needed to get back in the field. Out of curiosity, how may total feet of hoses and how many fittings(hose ends) did you have to buy?

Today I have to finish remounting the control valve, some one must have replaced it and the way it is mounted makes the handles hard to reach and also the float detent only works when the handle is in the raise position. I have to make some mounts for the control handles so they work properly so when you pull back it raises and forward it lowers or a further push allows it to float. Later Tom |

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.
