Default Help identify this tractor!

Alright guys, I have an opportunity to buy this tractor for virtually nothing, but I can't figure out what it is. The lady says the paint is rubbed off of the hood, and she can't figure what model it is, and the info she gave me doesn't add up (atleast according to my research). She says it has a 16 horse Kohler Magnum. and the serial number is 251079, but from what I found online, that can't be right. She says someone told her it was built in the late 70's to early 80's, but who knows. I haven't seen the thing yet. She did send this picture (sorry, I know it sucks). I'm buying it either way, needs some work, but it's a great deal. Just wondering what I'm getting.

That's a late 80's, early 90's lawn tractor with a vertical shaft engine.

I thought about the vertical shafts, but are there vertical shaft "magnums"?

She did say that the model number was 16-something, but that didn't really get me anywhere.

Thanks!

If anyone can help me out with a possible model number, that'd be great.

T-Mo is correct.

1615 or 1620 probably. Similar design to my 1015 lawn tractor. The model would have been on decals on the side of the hood, not painted on.

1615 if gear-driven, 1620 if hydro.

Sorry to thread-jack... but CMA's129, you're from DuBois? I grew up in Brookville and now live in Corsica. Don't think I've ever seen anyone on any of the forums I frequent who lives so close.

Back on topic:
Go here: http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/P...0051&langId=-1
Enter this for model: 137270100
This for serial: 251079

See if this manual corresponds to your tractor.

Whats up neighbor! the 1430 I'm talking about is in Summerville soon as you get into the 35mph up on a high bank on the right. Almost right across from where that guy dresses up the mannequins and puts them in the phone both in front of his house.

Yeah. He changes her clothes quite frequently too, and seasonally. When I went buy a couple of days ago she was wearing a black spandex dress with neon green lighting bolts on it. Get your snow blades ready soon she'll have her santa suit on.

LOL yeah, it's pretty epic. I drive right through there every day on my way to work when I take that route (I work in Punxsutawney). Never noticed the Cub before though. I'll have to check it out some time.

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.
