Got me's an O
 

Hello all! New to the group. Got a '62 at a garage sale couple weeks ago. Has a mower deck and a garage sale restoration ( painted over all the grime, deck, belts, tires, stickers but stopped short of the hood logo, good from far, you know) but am happy as a clam with it. Bought with intention of cutting the grass, I wanted real steel and a strong following ( like a Willis jeep). Had it cutting already and it cuts great considering its age. Went and got a plow to rig on it for yard work (it's NOT a cub blade I know) but I'm thinking an o.e. unit might Be hard to find. Plus the one I got has the lift handle built in, so I won't have to use o.e. handle and mess it up working it. Now I'm on the hunt for the creeper set up, my frame has the shifter hole and it goes WAY too fast for me. So, hello everyone, thanks for having me.

Welcome to OCC! Glad to have you!

you may be surprised to find...a creeper gear for that particular tractor will cost a ton of money unless you find a person who doesn't know what he/she has. you want the Danco UD-6 creeper gear. any other creeper gear will not work in your tractor. the Original cub cadets had their own set of attachments and options thats unique to just those. there is a Danco UD-6 creeper and clutch assembly on EBay right this moment for $450....about what your going to pay anywhere else. give or take. good luck with your O. they are pretty cool

Welcome to OCC! Congrats on your O!

That is funny, "garage sale paint job" ! Well, you found the right place for IH Cub Cadet information. With patience, some elbow grease, maybe a few tune up parts, and of course the folks here at Only Cub Cadets, the Original will greatly become a serious machine, cutting grass and lawns like a IH Cub Cadet!

Welcome!

congrats, welcome to OCC
