Default Numbering system?
I've had a 1650 and now have a 2284--is there any logic to the numbering system? Is there a listing somewhere that tells what a tractor is by the number assigned to it?

IH used a number system that made sense. Lets take the 1X4/5 series. A 124 was a gear drive (1X4) and a 125 was a hydro (1X5). Even was always gear drive, odd was hydro. The first two was the HP. 125=12 HP. They did this all the way into the QL's. Then, they just went to a series designation that didn't really have any meaning. So, the answer to your question is yes.... and no.

Even in the quietlines they made sense ones ending in 00 were gear drive and ones ending in 50 were hydro. First numbers were hp 8 10 11 12 14 and 16....the 82 series went crazy

When IH came to the 82 Series, it changed to a "step up" numbering system.
It started with 182, 282, 382, etc. Each increase in number was either more horsepower, features, or both.

This rule held true except for 2 models. The 71 and 73 were gear drives even though they were odd. To my knowledge nobody knows why IH did this.

YUP.....all the 7 hp models follow a different nomenclature. CCO, 70, 71, 72 & 73.

Default numbering system ?
Thanks for the info. So for the year built you have to go to the serial number?

Yes, but I don't understand why people get hung up on year of production. In tractors it doesn't matter. Unless you are looking for like an early production of a certain model, but the SN# is an important than anything. People who get hung up on year are usually from the auto world where it matters. In tractors it really doesn't. There is no design changes based on year of production. Everything is done by serial number and models. Tractor companies don't come out with "new" models in the fall like auto companies do. They come out with a new series. Might be in the middle of the year, might be in January. It's just whenever they want. It's cool to say you have a '61, "O". Or a '78, 982. But it really doesn't mean anything. I have no idea when any of my tractors were built. SN tells me everything I need to know about parts. Except my 1050. It's a 1989 because that's the only year they were made.

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.
