Coop...I'm pretty sure I mentioned from the very beginning that the blown engine is not the only consideration. I'm sure of it. I have said that other considerations weighing in are the trans leak and deck. I've said that the trans has leaked for 20 years now. These are not new items. Also, I've referred to having some reservations about fixing the cub solely due to the overall age of the rest of the tractor. I've also said I'm hesitant to buy another used cub simply cause of not knowing the history of it in the way of engine maintenance and so forth. I just don't see that option as being one of the best ones. I either fix up or buy new (but not a new Cub...have it narrowed to one of 2 tractors I've looked at). One of the things really holding me back also is not getting the chance to see the attachments (sub-frame, etc.) and plow that would come with either tractor. I've not voiced any of these details since this is not the place for it. The last thing guys want to hear is my wrangling over the pros and cons of the new tractors I'm considering. I've got plenty, but heaven forbid I open another pandora's box. I think, if I'm reading the overall tone of some of the replies correctly, this site really should be relabeled "Only vintage cub cadets"...since that seems to be the main focus.

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.
