It's a 108
After finishing up my 1650 project a couple weeks ago, I rode one of his big brothers, a 154 cub lowboy with a 6' blade on the front and a 6' blade on the rear. I rode up in the woods to retrieve something yellow, under a tarp that I thought was a old two number Cub Cadet but turned out to be a 108. It's been there so long that I forgot what it was. The rear 3pt. blade on the 154 works like a tow truck for dragging stuff around so the 108 is now in the cub house.
This cub was given to me buy a friend about 15 years ago but I didn't have any time to do anything with it so it sat up in the woods for about 6-8 years before I got a chance to do a little work on it. At that time I found a big hole rusted in the trans. cover and the trans. full of pine cones, leaves and goo. I put a temporary patch on the cover and flushed out the trans. Then after cleaning the gas tank and carb. and filing the points it ran. After riding it around a while, I found that the clutch was slipping a little and at that point I ran out of time so back up in the woods it went. I have done quite a bit of work on it this week and have a few questions. Would a broken teaser spring cause the clutch slipping? I really didn't look at how the clutch system functions mechanically before I tore it apart. Also, what's the deal with the vent on the top of the trans. I was going to clean it but it's a dead end hole about 7/8 deep? That's all for now.

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.
