Bought a red one!!
Yes, I know, it's the wrong make, but it will have to do until I find that 95 electric. The Cubs are awesome working the garden and pulling stuff, but way too big for mowing my lawn, getting through gates and around the obstacles that are everywhere.
Meet the newest addition to the fleet, a $50 1986 Snapper Series 6 Standard, 28" Hi Lift deck, 8 hp Briggs and Stratton. If you're not familiar, these have a really neat and super simple constant velocity style transmission that needs a $20 rubber drive wheel every 10 years and is designed to store standing on end, actually taking up less floor space in the garage than a push mower, and my home town hardware store is a reputable Snapper dealer. Anyone else have one of these little lawnmowers? After 1 test drive mow and absolutely none of the much needed maintenance, I'm impressed by it's potential. The drive wheel is completely shot, the carb is way out of adjustment, the blades are incredibly dull, the governor doesn't govern, the PTO lock keeps popping loose, and despite all that, it left my lawn looking very nice and eas a pleasure to operate. A few hours under the wrench and I might not want that 95 as bad...

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.
