Default New to me 73

Well I got another cub even though my first one isnt finished yet but almost. Had a friend tell me about this one being on the side of the road near me and I had him verify it was a cub today so I went and looked at it. The lady wanted quite a bit too much for it but I ened up getting it for a decent price. Its missing the PTO, front grill, and has some ridiculous metal welded on as fenders plus a horshoe welded to the frame below the S/G but she said it ran and the engine spun over good by hand, trans shifts, etc. Has mule drive and it also came with the original operators manual and receipts from all the work done in the past, pretty cool. It definately needs some work but I think I made a good choice, I like it. Dont know much about the 73 but am learning, NF series like my 127 and serials are about 20k apart, It was built in October 1969.

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.
