Default Cub Cadet vs John Deere

No this is not a tug of war or some crazy photo of some sort of a battle. This is a request for information. I currently have 3 O's (4 digit, lights, creeper, fenders, lift, BB36, blade, and a #1 tiller) I love it. I am in the proccess of repowering it currently with a 420cc harbor freight OHV motor. (Along with rebuilding the original K161. dont worry no tractor mods will be done during the repower).

I say all of that just so you guys do not fear that i am a traitor =D now for my question.

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge on the difference between a CCO and the first JD 110's (round fenders) I am just wondering if there are any common known strengths or weaknesses for either one. Please do not turn this into an argument nor a bash session. We can act like respectable grown adults.

Thank You in advance.

One weakness that i see is that the Deere has a belt operated transmission/ rear end. Even though the O has a belt drive as well it is connected to a drive shaft that powers the rear. Therefore less belt, less wear or damage to occur to the belt on the O. Also not entirely sure but i do think the deeres are harder to work on when working with the belts, but i have yet to be that close to one to see for myself.

The deere's use a Perless trans in them. I O has a farm tractor trans. The Perless trans can't take the pulling heavy stuff or any heavy work. My buddy has a 112H RF and a 214,110, The 110"s trans is about shot bc it had a tiller on it most of it's life and wore out the axles.

I would say the O had/has a superior tranny.

Just as an aside, I've got other color old iron garden tractors and they have belt drive vs a drive shaft and I can't see any noticable advantage of the drive shaft over the belt. I've never known that the belt was slipping during hard pulling, i.e. moldboard plowing or any other heavy pulling chore.

Thanks!
Bill

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
