What got me started was that I bought a home in Virginia. After settling the deal, I walked the property lines and found a poor old 1650 sitting in the woods. I did a little research and found out it wasn't just another little riding lawn mower. Dragged into my workshop and started from there. Still working on it, but I have all the parts I need now. Just waiting to paint some parts before reassembling them. Now I have a 682 (working condition) as well.

What got me started on cubs was a John Deere 55 lawn mower in 7th grade(i think) that was given to me by my uncle. Rebuilt the motor and started lookn around for bigger better options and as i truly liked IH i found the cub cadet. At that time my other uncle had one in his barn and said if you want it come get it. That was all the persuasion i needed, It was a 123. From there i was buying one or two a month for a while until i ended up with 12 at one point, overall ive gone through 14 i think. Its been a great hobby to have and has taught me alot of things. Plus with the work ive done with them for people ive made what ive put into em. Must say these are some of the best things to mess with.

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.
