Default What is this?
So I recently bought a 129 and had my first repair, the lights didn't work and the switch was bad so I got a toggle from Lowes and installed it, working lights now, was fun working on the Cub for the first time...

Actually I have two questions, I bought a Blade that was supposed to be for a 129 and it does not seem to be, and anyone identify what this blade is for...

Second question is what is this bar on the back of the tractor and there is an electrical hook up as well.. Any guesses as to what the previous owner was using this for?

Thanks for any help, Phil.

The first three pictures are of a Push Blade for a Narrow Frame tractor.

The last picture is a home made bracket for something.

My guess is that the home made bracket was for a weights somehow.

The last picture is of a bracket for a Peco Leaf Vac system that allowed the Narrow Frame (NF) cub cadets (mostly 1960's cubs) to utilize the Peco Leaf Vac unit, which was made in the 1970's on them.

Now I am guessing, but judging by the color of the wires, it looks like it is to the lights on a trailer that the cub probably once pulled. It is not to a PECO leaf vac, unless someone hooked up trailer lights to one......but that would just be wrong.

It's a trailer wiring harness, but that doesn't mean it was used for a trailer. Could have been used for anything that the PO wanted to plug into it. Lights, engine controls for the motor on the PECO, a sprayer....... anything. Is it important?? If you don't want it on the tractor, take it off.

If you do't have the PECO, I'd suggest removing the bracket and selling it. Many times people who buy them are missing that mount for that reason right there. It's not a gold mine, but it may help a fellow collector.

One of those brackets sold for 28 bucks on ePay last week. There was one on my 129 whenI got it.

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.
