Default Greetings from PA
Hi guys,
I've been on the website a bit recently learning a lot from your discussions and decided why not join in. I bought a 62 original with a snow plow 6 yrs ago to cut the grass and clear the drive. I'll admit the main reason for buying it was because the old green ones were too expensive (I grew up a green guy). But don't worry, shortly there after i was hooked. After seeing all the attachments you could put on a cub and realizing what it would cost me to put them on an original, I upgraded to a 79 1450 last summer (besides, you can't have just one). After doing the engine cradle upgrade/new iso bushings and rebuilding the hydro cam plates, it runs like new. I picked up a snow blower, it was missing the chute adjustment rod, guide and lift rod so I made new ones. It quickly became apparent that I needed weight in the back, so I also made a bracket that tucks 2 solid cinder blocks in against the rear end.
Bill

Sweet setups! You don't see to many IH weight boxes on originals. Have you loaded your tires on the 1450 yet?

Thanks guys

Paul, I live in Montgomery county near Quakertown. My wife and I travel out that way every now and again to go to the Woolrich store and get ice cream from the creamery at Penn State. We went to the Nittany Antique Machinery show last fall, its a pretty nice event.

Methos, The box is nice, handy for picking up trash in the yard while mowing and an easy place to put a bucket of rocks for traction when pushing snow. I haven't loaded the tires on the 1450 because my yard sits a bit wet in spots and I've put a few ruts in as is when mowing.

Bill that is the original box due to the fact it doesn't have the two hole to check the hy-tran level.

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.
