Woodard,

I am not the expert on the serial numbers, other guys here can speak to that better. I also have a 1450 and the engines on the quietline series were black and my K321 also pushes down into the pan. Hope this helps.

I do think that one nut on the steering wheel and two bolts on the steering box ,and one nut for the steering linkage. Jack the front of the tractor up and pull the s box and you can then take out everything you need for the change you want to make.Would`t hurt to repack the box then. Some times its just easier to take more parts off than you would think and save time in the end. btdt I`am learning.I`am glad I only have a few NF`s. lol

Norm "B", the only thing I have on the REDS is;
07/1980 - 06/1981 665001-700000. Dunno' if that helps.

Tom,

No, I have that info. What I want to know, and it may not have ever been recorded, were the s/n's of the 682's, s/n's of the 782's, etc. In other words, if I had a 682 and added hydraulics & new 782 decals, would anyone be the wiser?

Norm-

The kind code on the serial number tag indicates the model of tractor starting with the 1x6/7 series, I think.

 

[nbartee]

Where are the kind codes and how do they translate?

Just another batch of stuff I've not put up yet, SIGH!

Myron and Kraig started it last year.

1. IH kind/codes were not used up through the 125.

2: The first three digits of the kind code for Cub Cadets is always 205.

3. The fourth digit may be part of the first three but but I suspect that it was an unused position for four digit model codes. IH never got past three digit model codes (the three immediately preceding the "U". The U, by the way, indicates it was manufactured in the US of A. This was made clear to me when I got to checking some kind codes for the big IH tractors where some were manufactured in Mexico, Canada or Britain as well as the US.

Model Codes:

0036 = 73
0037 = 106
0038 = 107
0039 = 126
0040 = 127
0041 = 147
0042 = 86
0043 = 108
0044 = 109
0045 = 128
0046 = 129
0047 = 149
0048 = 169
0050 = 800
0053 = 1000
0056 = 1200
0059 = 1250
0065 = 1450
0067 = 1650
0070 = 1650 (mod 856)
0203 = 147
0205 = 149 (vemeer mod 834)
0206 = 149
0207 = 86
0208 = 86
0209 = 108
0210 = 108
0211 = 109
0213 = 109
0217 = 128
0218 = 128
0220 = 129
0221 = 129
0222 = 129
0223 = 129
0224 = 149
0510 = 800 (hvc)
0520 = 800 (hvc)
0540 = 1000
0550 = 1000 (hvc)
0570 = 1200 (hvc)
0580 = 1200 (hvc)
0581 = 482 (ccc made for IH)
0582 = 582 (ccc made for IH)
0583 = 582 special (ccc made for IH)
0584 = 682 (ccc made for IH)
0585 = 782 (ccc made for IH)
0586 = 982 com. (ccc made for IH)
0587 = 1282 (ccc made for IH)
0588 = 982 com. (ccc made for IH)
0589 = 982 com. (ccc made for IH)
0590 = 1100
0591 = 482 w/gd
0592 = 682 w/gd
0593 = 682 w/hydraulics
0594 = 782 w/hydraulics
0595 = 982 w/hydraulics
0596 = 582 special
0597 = 482 (ccc)
0598 = 582 (ccc)
0599 = 582 special (ccc made for IH)
0600 = 682 (ccc made for IH)
0601 = 782 (ccc made for IH)
0602 = 982 com. (ccc made for IH)
0603 = 1282 (ccc made for IH)
0604 = 982 com. (ccc made for IH)
0605 = 982 com.
0606 = 782D (ccc made for IH)
0610 = 1250 (hvc)
0630 = 1250 (hvc)
0660 = 1450 (hvc)
0670 = 1650 (hvc)


0606 = 782D (CCC continued the Kind/Code system for the Red IH Cub Cadets produced between 1981 & 1985.

0710 = 1572

Note how the model codes changed with the paint for the 82 series. I suspect the codes for the 482 & 582 were 591 & 592 but I do not have either model nor have ever seen one. Note how the long production of the QL series resulted in multiple model codes for each Cub Cadet model & that some of the model codes I am missing can be easily figured out if they were to surface. Its also interesting that the position of the model code digits changed at the beginning of the QL Series. I suspect that the original intent was to vary the model code according to the way it was equiped just as CCC did after they took over in July 1981. I surmise that some IH bigwig didn't like the idea & it wasn't imlemented till they were their own bosses.

I hope this helps you and please help fill in the blanks as you can and let me know.

Myron

Charlie, OK I'm a dope. What is the (hvc)?

 

[digger]

Tom H.
That was brought up years ago and I don't think anyone came up with the right definition that I remember.
Maybe High Volume Cub?
