Talking Hello from West MI. Just got my 1st Cub...

Just bought my first Cub and very excited about it. Here's the short version:

Originally I was intent on grabbing a Case/Ingersoll 16 or 18hp machine but after losing out on (what appeared to be) a good deal, I emailed a guy about a '96 Cub 2086 on CL. I figured it was a bit newer, had more power & was liquid cooled in comparison to the Ingersoll, so why not take a look.

I found the 2086 to be an awesome machine with plenty of power. I loaded it up and took it home. It's a very strong runner but will need some attention in some areas--- but what fun would it be if it didn't?

I tightened the brakes up, but the steering is still quite loose. I'm gonna need a snow blade for it at some point. I'm thinking I'll build a sleeve hitch with an electric actuator....glad to be on OCC as it seems this will be the place to help with all that stuff.

Cheers!

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.
