Yes, the 551 is made for the 1863.

The story someone told you about the blower turning backwards....... yeah, they did something stupid with the belt. That isn't possible. You can't change the gearbox to change direction. Doesn't work like that. They guy at your dealer needs a new job if he doesn't know what fits what.

Ok..... um, your last message doesn't make much sense. Proofread before you post please.


Yes, I'm 100% sure that the 551 is the correct blower for your machine. I don't know why a cub dealer wouldn't know the info, and I don't know who you are talking to.

Look it up for yourself. Go here: Cub Cadet
Now, the page I linked you too already has the 1863 pulled up. There is a serial number break on the 1863. You can choose whichever one applies to your machine, but I'll save you time. It doesn't matter because the SN isn't important in this instance. So, go over to the right side and click on the "select assembly" button. Then when the pop-up comes out, choose "attachments". Then scroll down toward the bottom. You will see the 551 listed as an attachment for your machine.

We won't steer you wrong here at OCC. We are the "premium" Cub Cadet site!

On a side note: The 450 is not for that machine, but the 451 will also work. Only difference is in appearance between the 451 and the 551. Functionality/application is the same.

You did it again..... please proofread.



Yes. Unless they cris-crossed it.

Or maybe they were just full of
Or just generally didn't know what they were talking about.

I've heard lots of unbelievable stories from people...... a lot of the time there is in it.

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.
