Hi, I'm new to the site. I to have recently purchased a CCC 1604 in what I think is in pretty good shape and about 800 hours on it. I bought it mainly to cut the grass in my woods as well as pull a 10 foot utility trailer into the back yard for storage. The guy I purchased it from told me the B&S motor was cast iron, but I cant confirm that. Also, I have read that the transmission is alluminum on one site ans cast iron on a different site, what is true? Anything to watch out for? It starts, runs, idles and cuts well. Can I put a sleeve hitch onto this machine should I ever want to? How about a front end loader for mulch and top soil? Any input anybody feels like throwing my way would be great. It is difficult to find info on the 1604. THANKS!

I can tell you what material your cub transmission is made of, but I can tell that it is not one of the heavy duty cub transmissions. It's actually built by Peerless. It's not nessessarily a bad transmission, it's just not as stout as a IH or cub cadet built one. A lot of garden tractor manufactures used Peerless transmissions with great sucess.

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.
