Recently bought a used ZTR. It needs a little work and I am not exactly mechanically inclined; however, I have discovered that what I thought was the sticker that would help tell what model number is, can't be referenced. I've even called cub cadet and their support line was unable to help. I need to purchase a few parts but I have no idea which to get. I'm turning to the community to see if anybody can help me.

This Cub Cadet has a 50 inch deck and 23 HP Kohler engine. I can upload pictures of the tractor if that would help. Some of the stickers have been stratched off, such as the one on the mowing deck.

I have tried to locate an owners manual and while some look close, there are differences in the diagrams from what I have ... primarily being how the deck height is adjusted. Pictures show it as a lever by the right foot. This tractor has bar just under the seat, on the wall. Can anybody help me with a model number or maybe point me towards an owners manual so I can locate parts I need to keep her running?

should probably state the the support line kept asking for model number that started with 13, 14 or 17. There are no other stickers or markings on this tractor that I have found yet.
 
Kevin, some photos of the actual ZTR/tractor could be helpful.
 
Thank you Kraig.

I will take some pic's of the tractor after work tonight.

On the rear picture, I have a spindal cover sitting in the compartment opposite the gas tank. One of spindals, right at the bolt hole, has cracked and is causing the blade to rub on the deck wall). 50 inch is part of the pattern design on that plate.

Z-Force 50 was my guess; however, the pictures vs diagrams (at least on the manuals I've downloaded) are slightly different. Notice the lever to adjest the mowing deck height as an example. I'm not sure if there are multiple versions and how interchangable things are.

That one looks right. What I dont see on this manual, unlike other one's, are part numbers for major components. Shouldn't they be listed?

Is there something on the manufacturer sticker that helps identify this for buying parts or to cub cadet? Anybody have one of these that know were the real model number is located?
 
Right, but my concern was some of the illustrations did not match and even cub cadet said they couldn't use that factory number as a way to reference the model. Alot of parts indicate it's for xyz model which are the LT's or 13's, 14's, 17's, etc and NOT 53AA5B7P710.
 
Click the Parts Lookup at the top of this and every page.
Enter in 53AA5B7P710 for the model number and it will take you to that specific machine.
