Default Greetings from KS

Hello yall:
I am new to the board here. I registered awhile back but I think this is my first post. Great site and I am looking forward to cruising around when time allows and getting more educated on just exactly what I have here. Which leads to me my first round of questions for you experts haha..................

How do I determine what I have exactly ? Are there numbers I can locate ? If so where ? What will they look like ? ANY help greatly appreciated.

Here's my story.............. My wife's father passed a couple years ago, rest in peace Frido. And during my last visit, I was given his Cadet that he loved dearly !!!!!!!! Kris (my wife) has a picture of herself on this little tractor when she was about 5 ish' and she is waiting on me to make it go again. Without revealing her age (I ain't that dumb haha) lets guess late 60's. I am thinking 67/8 myself, and the story I have got was it was close to new then. But no one remembers for sure. It is 100% as he had it, so I assume it is original. And I have had it running. Quite well I might add which surprised me honestly, but anyways. I want to say it has a 10 hp Kohler on it, is that right ? It's in my other shop now or I would run out and look. That's tractor number one.

Number 2 is one that was given to me because and I quote, " I see you got one of those yellow tractors Dave. If you would want another one, I would give it to you if you hauled it off". So I have this second one. Physically smaller in size to Opa's (that's grandpa in German lol) tractor. Same yellow and white. Smaller mower deck, smaller tires, and smaller wheels.

SO.............. how can I determine what I have ? Like I asked above, are there numbers I could toss at yall to help ? I don't have a camera myself but I could get some pix if that would help. I am actually excited to fix up Opa's tractor as the mother in law is coming to visit this fall and I would LOVE for her to see their tractor running driving and painted up shiny and new. I think it would make her feel happy that someone is going to love it like he did. And I wanna use this little horse. Cruising this site what little I have has me allllllll fired up about tillers, snowblowers, leaf trap things, trailers and what the hell ever else I can find to buy for it HAHAHHAAA.

Hope to here from someone/anyone soon. Gotta go look at some more pictures now, what else can I buy for this thing, and just how am I gonna convince the wife I "need" this stuff amidst all my drag car stuff ?????? HAHA

Thanks in advance...........

Welcome! IH Cub Cadet#502-65457. This one woulb be an Original. Build date is 1960-1963. Next is model 70 and 100, serial # 65458-127160 and it's build date is 1963-1965. Then next up is models 71, 102,and 122, serial#127161-218009 and their build date is 1965-November of 1967. The 123 was the first ever hydrostatic-drive transmission garden tractor starting with serial#157490-218009 and it's build date started in 1966 and went through untill November of 1967 also. Then came IH Cub Cadet models 72,104,105,124,125. Serial#'s for these start at 218010-306085, and the build dates are from 11/67 to 8/69. Follows next for the IH Cub Cadet line up are models 73,106,107,126,and 127 starting with serial#307000-400000 and began production in August of 1969 and ended in August of 1971. All these tractors are called "narrow frame" and have solidmount engines. So I hope this helps with what you gave us to go on. And the last 60's IH model Cub Cadet was the 147, serial#316816-400000 and was built between November of 1967 up untill August of 1971. If you look around a bit, you'll read where to look for the serial# on your tractor.

Well hey yall thanks for the welcome. Greatly appreciated for sure. I now know that Opa's tractor is a 102 thanks to yall already. I will check numbers on the other one soon enough. But the 102 is top priority now as the mother in law is coming for a visit in a couple months, and I want it painted up and running like a top when she sees it. I will try and get pix posted up as soon as I can. Thanks for the welcome.

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.
