New member in West Virginia
Hi all. New guy here, near Wheeling, WV. I'm in the panhandle, squeezed between OH and PA. I'm not a CC owner yet, but am thinking of getting one soon. My buddy got a 7 HP from the early 70's, for $325, and he likes it very well.
I just ran onto the OCC forum, and have been reading some of the posts. Maybe you guys can give me some suggestions on what I need, and what I should expect to pay. I live in town, so a narrow deck width would be good since I don't have alot of grass to mow, but I do have a garden, so I'm thinking maybe a tiller at some point, and definitely a snow blade or snow blower. At this point, I'm thinking I'd prefer the pre '81 IH model, possibly 12 to 14 HP. I'd like to find something in decent used condition - not fully restored, but not needing a ton of work to be operational. A couple of questions: 1. What would I expect to pay for what I just described above? 2. Are tillers and snowblowers specific to certain models, or fairly universal for CC models? Pricey? 3. Are there any model number charts available, or a way to determine year of manufacture, variations in models, etc.? 4. I found a somewhat local model 124 with 38" deck, and 42" snow blade for $700 ... it does have the IH logo on the front. I'm waiting to hear back about the actual condition. Any idea what year this is, and if this price is in line? I may be able to get some pics soon. That's my story. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I seem to see quite a few folks from PA and OH. Feel free to give me a shout. Josh

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.
