Rare Cub - 3000 Series
 

In today's searching, I have found a very rare Cub. This is from the last year International owned Cub Cadet. I texted the seller and the story is as follows.

His Dad bought the mower new in the 90's. The MTD rep came to the dealership and changed the decals to MTD.

I tried to tell him that it is not possible but he was having none of that. Only thing I can figure is time travel is involved. I took screen shots and sent to him but he will not believe. Here is the ad below...

Here is what the ad says at the bottom.

Riding mowers, Good mowers, new batteries Cub Cadet has Mtd stickers but this mower is one owner and it was the last year built by International, Hydraulic deck, hydrostat 18HP power steering, 48" cut $1400....... Red murray 17HP OHV $600........ Green Craftsman 14.5 HP hydrostat 42" cut $600

The Seller is full of Crap. The last series owned by IH was the 82 Series tractors and they sold off to CCC/MTD in April 1981.

That tractor is way beyond 1981.

I'm guessing he lost the tailight trying to get 'er up to 88MPH to make it the 20+ year time jump :bigthink:

I found an article explaining this and he said he did not believe the internet. :BangPC: I wanted to ask him he thought the earth was flat, but I did not. He was already getting mad at me.

That explains it. Lol

Your are not wrong Roland that mower is part of the HDS series from mid 90s
