Picked up an Original today.
My grandpa and I just picked up an "Original" today, the wiring is all cobbled up, has cobbled up lights, has 3 switches you have to turn to start it, the starter generator is on backwards (Weird I know), and you have to start it in gear because it won't de-clutch. But the reason behind getting it was that fact that we wanted one, and the serial # is 1314. I checked and it was the first month of the first year they made the "Originals". It also has a push button start and I can't tell if it is an aftermarket one or not, I think I remember seeing an ad for a push button start, and a decent front blade, I know it's not an IH blade though. Now for the endless questions! I'm sure you're all excited
 A picture is worth a 1,000 words 1. Does anyone know why it wouldn't de-clutch when I push down the pedal? 2. Did a push button starter come with an Original. 3. Can I flip my starter/gen back around with the existing mount? 4. Should I get a wiring harness for the "O", if so, where? I'll get more pics tomorrow when its light out. all help is appreciated!

Originals are notorious for clutches sticking when exposed to the weather. I'll let somebody with more knowledge about fixing it let you know how to do that.
The starter generator is probably off a different "flavor" machine and had to be mounted that way for correct rotation for the Cub.

Nice 0. if mine sets outside for a week. I'll need to tap on the clutch to get it to let loose. Then its good till the next time it rains and it sets for a week or so.

One point of advice... Take LOTS of photos of every part before you dismantle. Really nice to have them to refer back to when putting back together.. As for the wiring harness, there are not to many wires so it will be easy to make your own wiring harness.

Congratulations! Nice starting point (I also have a first month O, close to your number!)
Let me take a stab at your questions... 1. Likely worn out clutch, check linkage and bearing for wear, doesn't sound like it is releasing, something bent, worn or out of adjustment, or even stuck to the disc. (look at manual for how it works and how to adjust it) 2. Yes, two position switch (off/on) and the push button to start (looks like the old time car light dimmer) 3. Your S/G looks like a Wheel Horse one, likely turns "backwards", I would get the correct S/G (it would have oil cups that early), may need to locate correct brackets, but are easily found. 4. I would replace it, several good choices, I have used Porch Elec. for Cubs, great quality, fair prices, several other choices, Brillman, and I have seen someone on the forum mentioned making a good quality one. Take your time, get familiar with it before you jump in and you will enjoy the refurbish experience! Good luck,

Could someone post a picture of a S/G mount for an original so I know what to look for?

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.
