Gid'day,
I'm from the great white north and I just pulled an old IH Cub Cadet out of the shed and got it running. Works well, but needs cosmetic work. I joined this forum to find out more about my machine. I don't know the model, as I can't decipher the serial number. The S/N on the left side of the frame is: 2050670U584431*. Can anyone tell me what model/year it is? All I know is it has a 16hp Kohler. The body & frame has been painted at least four times (yellow, blue, green, & red) so there's no other labels visible.
Cheers,
Jeff

Welcome to OCC Jeff!
Sounds like it is a 1650 but I don't have access to the kind codes at the moment.
Pics of your tractor would help too.

I've attached a couple of pics of my tractor - hopefully this will help identify the model/year.
Thanks,

Thanks! it looks like a 1650 (after I saw a few other pics) - I live in Mountain Ontario, just 45min south of Ottawa.
Cheers!

Welcome, Jeff. This is THE Place for all things Cub Cadet, from the Original IH Cub, through the current MTD made machines. There is a depth of knowledge and experience here you simply cannot find anywhere else.

Put on the coffee, pull up a chair and stay awhile.

Regards

Cubby Guy

P.S. Your Cub has had some ahhhhhhhh "interesting" paint work.

Default Ugly Paint, Great Tractor!

My 1650 has had several paint jobs which are all peeling and leaving it looking kinda U-G-L-Y but the thing runs like a champ - the hour meter is smashed and was left at 500 hrs. I want to find out all I can about the correct paint & decals and this winter I plan to strip it down and re-paint it the correct color. I also want to find out how a 3-point hitch works with this unit - I could really use it with a plow/disk attachment. This is a great site and I'm thankful to all the members who've helped me so far! Now it's time for a cold one!
Cheers!

I have a cub cadet 800, 8hp 3-speed manual gearbox, my late dad bought in 1976, it is also one of the "QuietLine" series, like your 1650.

I don't have any hydraulics or electric lift on mine, but all I have to do is check the oil, add gas, turn the key and mow.

Just think of your 1650 as a full-size Farmall that accidentally got Washed and dried on the "extra hot" laundry cycles.

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.
