The 1100 is a stripped down version of the Quietline models. It uses a Peerless transmission that is belt drive instead of the Farmall Cub style shaft drive gear transmission. It was designed by IH to compete more with the cheaper box store mowers back in the day. They can be somewhat collectible since they didnt make as many of them as they did the regular Quietlines. It was the first Cub Cadet to use the Peerless transmission as well as the first to use a Briggs engine. It also used the same attachments as the rest of the Quietline series did.

 

Alittle ruff bt that will change haha

 

 

That serial number makes that tractor the 200th tractor made in March of 79.

 

How do you read that lol

 

Im having trouble finding the serial # on the engine to get parts. The only decal i see is the briggs decal on the back engine shroud. Could it be under all that sheet metal?

 

I'm not sure of that model as I've never worked on one of them but many briggs numbers were actually stamped into the shrouding of the engine. Somewhere on the blower housing.

 

The first three digits are the "kind code" designating what type of machine it is, 205 being a garden tractor. The next 4 digits are the "machine code", in this case 0590 designates it as a model 1100. The "U" designates it as made in the united states. Finally the numbers after the "U" are the actual serial number. Since the first number for march of 79 was 648387, your tractor 648587 is the 200th tractor from march of 79. That number includes ALL cub cadets made as there was no break in the numbers for each different model and they just gave sequential numbers to the various models in order as they came down the production line.

 

That's a cool cub.

 

I was wondering how it could be belt drive with the motor sitting in the frame like that, but I see it has a shaft to a 90 degree gearbox with a belt to the rear. I've never seen one of these up close. Pretty interesting. Thanks for the pictures.

 

more pics to come as i rebuild

so i found out today the spare frame i had i cant use because it is different(129 frame is different from an 1100) so i will have to repair the 1100 frame

 

Better pic of the tranny and gear box

 

Cleaned the tranny for some paint

 

Interesting Cub, never knew they used a BGB to do this, would've been easier to just turn the engine & use a belt from the get-go?

 

or why not just throw a hydro in it. the hydro probably does just as much as that belt if not alittle more

 

Well got the tranny painted. Started playing wth the engine the carb was plugged and i took it apart and it was full of rust and i dont think its savable . A new carb is like 100 bucks so i may just have to order one next week

 

Wow that's set up Exactly like a Bolens G11XL.

Wonder if you could stick a 6 speed transaxle out of an older sears in it? Would be pretty cool to have hi/lo range.

 

I wanted to put a clutch and cub trans in it bt idk yet

 

Where did you find a new carb for $100? Parts tree has them listed for over $224. The rebuild kit for it is now up to $118. I have a 482 with the same engine/transmission setup as your 1100. I got lucky and my dealer has a rebuild kit that had been sitting on the shelf for years. He sold it to me for $40. I have a extra engine in piece if you need parts. I have a carb but it's missing the throttle shaft.

my dad works at a cub cadet dealer so parts at his price lol
