Default It's alive......
Finally finished the Leopard Cub Cadet this weekend (well almost finished, I see I forget to remove the tape covering the serial number tag). It took me some time to bring it to life but I think it came out okay. Sun glare made the one fender top look like it wasn't painted but is. The lighter shade on the two lower photos also came from sun glare. I forgot to place my IH safari hat on the seat for the pictures. I ordered a whip and hope to find a chair like the one used in the "cub Cadet Circus" shows back in the 60's.
Now I'll have time to finish up the 782, Original with rear PTO and my 86.

Cool paint job. Looks like that may have been very labor intensive. Turned out fabulous.

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.
