Another Cub

[weaverama]

As soon as I figure out where to put/hide this one, I will bring it home. I've seen it sitting outside for about a year now so I just walked up and knocked on the door. It runs fine, all it needs is a battery.

I don't want to gloat but the deal went down for $100.00 Yes $100.00! This is on top of last weekends running 108 for $25. I have been having a very good run here as of late. WIll update you all when I get her tucked away in the shed.

The serial number plate is missing, did IH stamp the serial No. anywhere else on the frame?

Wow weaverama, you sure have been doing well, with the deals lately! Congrats, on your 1650. Unfortunately, IH didn't stamp the serial number anywhere else, on the tractor.

I could save you the hassle of trying to hide it I'll trade a couple 108's for all you have in those pics and you can tell your spouse your in different stages of a rebuild.

I was afraid of that.

Jim, I will come up with something so I can ease the wife into my new found hoarding. It's going to take her at least a month to realize that the 1000 and the 1650 are different tractors. She won't go in the shed....too many black snakes have been seen in there. The 108 is still down in Virginia at my friends house getting a little TLC. I will need a complete new fender pan for it, will any wide frame fender work?

Wow, that's the kind of deal I need! Congrats! Jason

I hid an A farmall behind a 720 John Deere one time for almost 5 years before my wife noticed. Told her it was there when we moved in the house, worked pretty good until she remembered I am the one that built that shed ..............oh well, can't keep em hid forever ! ! !

holy frickin crap! that 1650 is in epic shape! you can't even see the dials on both my hour meters. let alon read any of the decals. nice score. you could ship it up here too, I got lots of space for running tractors...

OK, so i swapped a new battery in it and gave it a shot of starting fluid and she starts right up after sitting since at least summer. No Smoke. PTO switch is either bad or disconnected, did not have time to look at it this morning, had to work. Hydro lift lever is stuck; it will not move and I do not want to force it. She runs smoothly in forward and reverse. Man that 16hp sounds good! Took a while to get used to using the forward/reverse lever rather than the foot pedal on my JD.

Any thoughts on the lift lever is appreciated, I have never owned one before and it may be awhile before I can diagnose.

Ok, if your lever has zero movment (no play at all in the linkage) I can't help you. if it has a little movment, like the amount expected from a 35 year old linkage, pull the gas tank, and the hood support that are mounted to the dash. you should see all the linkage. put some PB blaster or whatever you use, on the actual valve rod. to the best of my knowledge this sticks out the top of the valve housing. hey, while your down there you could check the PTO switch, and all the wiring associated. I am probably barking up the wrong tree thinking the valve itself might be froze. but I think it might be worth a shot

Very nice 1650 Weaverama! You have been racking up the good deals lately! Congrats on the great score!
