Cool So it looks like I'm getting an Olds

My former neighbor and good friend just offered me a fantastic deal on a very rare Olds engine. It was made by the Olds Gasoline Engine Works and according to Roger, it was made about 1907. It's a 5 - 7 hp hit and miss engine and it's all there. Fuel pump, original muffler, carb and all the little bits and pieces. There is even some original paint and pin striping left.

Here's a couple pictures.

VERY NICE!
I owned one a little larger than that for about 6 hours. Long story short a collector down in Georgia was selling a bunch of 1 1/2 hp Deeres at the Denton, NC show. We were talking and he told me he collected rarer engines, the Deeres were just trading stock. I told him I knew where one was, in rough shape. He told me if I would take him to it and he bought it, that he'd give me a Deere for a finders fee. Long story short I picked it up, he came through town that evening and we made the switch. Best I can remember it was 12 or 15p, model A I think, fully enclosed crankcase, headless, with heavier flywheels--think it was for generator service. Anyway, wish I had it now but that was 30 years ago and I had no means of finding/affording the missing parts--he wound up with a carb for it out of Canada. Anyway, got a little long winded, just triggered a story I hadn't thought about for a long time.

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.
