When was Cub Cadet 1861 built?

[JackinVirginia]

I am confused re differences between 1861/1862/1863...

The Cub 1862 was produced about 12 years ago. It uses a twin opposed Kohler engine. I have no knoweldge of either the 1861 or 1863, however the 1864 was virtually identical to the 1862, however it used a V-twin Kohler. It is my understanding both the 1862 and the 1864 were 18hp.

EDIT: The 1862 has a hydrostatic transmission, electric PTO switch, power steering, and hydraulically controlled lift cylinders to lift the mower deck, snow blower, etc.

I have a 1863 Made by MTD I think the only dif.between the 1863 and 1864 may be the 1864 has power steering?? my 1863 has the 18 Hp Kohler 2 cylinder command engine. with a 54" deck not sure of mfg. dates /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
