I've been lurking here for about a year and decided to join. A lot of good info here. I have been around IH machinery all my life. Grew up on this farm running only the red stuff. Dad bought a new CC72 when I was 7 yrs old and told me to take care of it. I had to mow our yard, my grandmother's, my uncle's and our neighbor's yard. Had that 72 until I moved away in '84. Mom needed something easier to mow the yard with (Dad died in '81) so I bought her a used 127. It treated her well and I would travel home whenever I could to maintain it. I moved back here in '91 and used the 127 until '94 and bought a new 1440 for my new wife to mow with. We were never happy with that Cub. It just was not the kind of Cub I grew up with. It always had a problem of some sort or another. Most of the problems were Hydro related but some were mower deck problems. Got tired of it being broke most of the time so I sold it and bought a 149 with a 42"deck, 42"front blade and 42" tiller. We're still using it today with no problems at all.
I am retired now and have 640 acres "hobby farm". I do it with my Dad's 656, 856 and 1066. I also have my Grandfather's Farmall B. We have a lot of fun doing this farming but we really enjoy the time we spend gardening with the Cub. If I could find my old 72 life would be perfect. Sorry for the long post but, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it".

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.
