Default Newer Cub Cadet's
I know most of this forum is about Older Cadet's, So I hope it is O.K. to start A Thread for newer Cadet's. This is my 2004 LT-1018, I got it in a Divorce sale for $ 100.oo Bucks, And it only has 84 Hrs on it, and runs and looks Brand New,

dgb: Remember there's Cub Cadets and there's Cub Cadets... IH made Garden Tractors with the Cub Cadet name. IH also made Lawn Tractors but they were called Cadets. After IH sold the Outdoor Products division to MTD/CCC, the company name changed to the Cub Cadet Corporation and everything they make now uses that brand name. This also includes the one you got... It's a Lawn Tractor (LT) and not a Garden Tractor. The 1000 series are usually sold at the big box stores. Even the 2000 Series are only Lawn Tractors!! To get a genuine Cub Cadet Garden Tractor, you have to go to a full line Cub Cadet Dealer (not a box store) and get a 2500, 3000, 4000 series up, etc....

Having said all that, new Cub Cadet LT's like yours perform very well at mowing, which is what they are designed to do and you will probably like it for that purpose..

Also, I'll bet there's no one here or on any of the other Forums that wouldn't have bought it at that price (and not been afraid of causing a divorce of their own)!

Default I didn't know much
I didn't know much about Cub Cadets before I got this one,
But after calling and talking to the Sergeant major I know a lot more,
and I now want one of the Older one's, or get the Trans & rear end and make something out of it, Like make the frame and put something like a small Jeep Body on it, I think that would me a neat thing to do. and if I make the body my self I will make it all out of 304 Stainless steel, it will never need paint and will never rust. Now I just need to find the time to do all of this,
and get permission from my Wife. Like Thats going to Be A Problem. Ha Ha

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.
