I wish my 1650 looked that nice! Great job. I am learning as I go but I haven't tackled anything like the job you did.
I wish there were some other near me that liked Cubs so I could learn from them without trial and error. Again great job!

I'm pretty good at fixing stuff, but really am a hack mechanic. Pulling the engine, on this IHCC and another one over the Winter and a host of other things I've encountered with these tractors has been both a chore, challenge and a learning experience. Don't hate me - but for a lot of years, my go-to tractors have (and still are) Wheelhorse. For whatever reason, I have latched onto those, but told my Wife a few years ago, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with regard to IHCC and Simplicity - so a bought a few of both. It's been an enjoyable experience tinkering with the Cub Cadets. Not sure I'm going to keep the 1650 or my 109 or my 126 - but I'm usually pretty wishy-washy on these things. I'm searching for the perfect IHCC to permanently keep in the fleet. I like both hands on the steering wheel and with Wheelhorse or Cub Cadet, really don't care for hand lever hydro. My terrain, being hilly and trimming/turning requires constant attention to the hydro lever. Some smart guy with the Wheelhorse tractors figured out a foot control for them and I've converted them to foot control hydro and it's a dream! Really brings an old iron tractor into the 21st century. So that leaves me with gear drive IHCC's. I like my 126, but, again for my mowing needs, the 1st gear is a tad slow and 2nd gear is to fast, though I'm trying to get use to it without smashing into a fence post - LOL. I am to understand the 128 has a little slower 2nd gear - which might be the ticket. Having worked on my 126 and the 1650 and 109, I can appreciate the wide frame vs narrow frame for serviceability and repair. So I"m thinking about trying a 128 next-up. Another thing that makes a 128 an interesting project is that I have a 14 hp engine I could drop into one and a 50 inch deck. I would think that would be a great mowing combo. But I do like the looks of the 1650 and it seems to be a comfortable tractor to operate. Hope I haven't swerved to far off topic here in my own post! Thanks! Bill

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.
