IH 856 turns 50 this year
My great grandad bought this 856 new in 1968. Originally had a cab, and he bought it with 2pt hitch. Been in the "family" it's whole life. When my grandad quit farming, my distant cousin (the one I help farm) bought it. We did some work to it, and he put it back to work after it had been down for several years. It has about 13,000 hours on it now. I put the T/A and the the last.... probably the last 2..... clutches in it. I overhauled the motor in about 2000/2001. That was the second overhaul it had gotten. I've rebuilt a lot of other parts on it. I've nearly had the whole tractor apart at least once. It has been converted to 3 pt, and we took the cab off when I was probably 10 or 12. It's one of the first "big" tractors I learned to drive. I probably put about 3...maybe 4000 hours in the seat on that tractor. Still smells like it did when I was a kid. Really cool to see after 50 years it still running strong and working. Great grandad would be proud.

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.
