My Cub Cadets
Hi,
Thought I would post what Cub Cadet I own and a little on how I got them. The first Cub Cadet is a 71 that I bought off the auction for $50. It was sold as not running but all I had to do was add gas and a battery and she started. It came with a mower deck and has creeper gear. My dad says why I got it so cheap because I bought it at the auction when I was 10 years old, he says people don't like biding against a 10 year old. The second Cub I bought, is a 1971 149. I bought it about 2 years later. I found it when I was selling boy scout popcorn. It was sitting by a tree and looked like it had not moved 3 or 4 years. I asked the guy about it and he said to make me an offer which I did of $500, and he said yes. The best thing is that it came with a mower deck, front blade, and a no. 1 tiller that has extensions. Right now the 149 is running well besides two engines mounted being broken. The tiller I have is getting put back to gather now. It had been torn down because the bearings were frozen and bad. The 71 is right now sitting on blocks because I ran out of money to but new tires on it. The old tire was falling apart. College is kinda taking all my money. Attached is a photo of my 149 on jacks as I am working on the engine mounts. It has its tire chains on and wheel weight (old gym weight about 54 lbs per side) as I was getting ready to clear snow but the broken engine mounts stopped that. I forgot to take a picture of the 71 and the rebuild of the tiller but I will post one latter.

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.
