This 1650 Cub Cadet is 31 years old. In 2005 I took it apart and repaired everything that needed attention then painted the tractor the same shade of blue as the decals. The original color was school bus yellow but I like blue tractors better. More pics are here.
 
I have pretty much all the attachments for the 1650, including a 42" snowblower, a 44" deck, 42" front and rear blades and a 39" rear mount rototiller.
 
The attachments are all raised and lowered hydraulically but the rear hydraulics don't have down pressure, which actually works better for some jobs. Dragging the rear blade with it reversed dresses up our gravel driveway and parking area nicely. 

 
 
1975 1650 Cub Cadet

  • 16 HP Kohler K341 engine
  • Hydraulic lift
  • Hydrostatic transaxle
  • 42" front blade
  • 42" rear blade
  • 44" mower deck
  • 42" front mount snow blower
  • 39" rear mount tiller

The 1650's are super shakers. The single cylinder design and large piston, along with the engine being mounted with the crankshaft in line with the frame, generate some vibration. It's mostly at mid throttle.

I stuck a Ford badge on the grill temporarily
just to irritate the Cub purists. It worked!
