My first 'Real' Cub Cadet!
Hey guys!
I finally picked up an actual IH Cub Cadet! This has been a long time in the making! As a kid, our family got a MTD era Cub Cadet 1315 in the late 80s... I mowed alot of grass with that... Then in the early 90s, my grandfather retired his '79 Cadet 85 special, which I got my hands on and turned into a go-kart! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r2hKQoAN-U This was my first introduction into IH machinery! A few years ago, I got a Cadet 60, which I used until June 2009 when the already tired motor took a turn for the worse. Last fall, I swapped an old car for a 1951 Farmall M. What a gem! It looks rough but runs good. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts, or at least a little eccentric owning a farm tractor and living in town. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBjHD-3zixk I just picked up this Cub Cadet 147 from a guy up the road. It wouldn't run anymore because of 'carb problems'...... The melted down points made me think differently. A new set of points and a fresh condenser, and I was in business! I already changed the oil, and picked up some HyTran, a new rear gasket, a trans filter, and a new muffler to replace the rusted-out original. I plan to put it to use soon for leaf cleaning! I'm wondering what my best bet is for the winter... Last year we didn't get any appreciable snow, so I didn't get to put the Farmall/Model 30 loader with blade to use, but I think with my limited space, the Cub Cadet with either a blade or a 36/42" blower might be easier to manage. Any opinions on that one? Thanks!

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.
