Thanks for that information Diz Jr. I never knew that these bears even existed or the interesting story behind them. Thank you for sharing that with me and "enlightening" me on this history of the cub cadet!!! That might make a great thread category for this forum, "History of Cub Cadet" in which the serial numbers are listed for the production years, as well as information like you just stated could be placed for everyone to look up!!!
With much appreciation,
Cub Cadet 123
