Cool info Merk. Yeah I have a book that shows an O with a Pennington front mount deck mowing some grass. I'm actually excited to see also that although the northern and western states are full of cubs as opposed to where I live, most of the "test" units, specifically serials 501 to 518 were delivered and tested in Georgia and Florida at golf courses, sod farms, and government institutions. One was actually in the next town over from me at a golf course and I'm thinking of stopping by one day just to see if it may have been forgotten...............why not right?

For what it's worth, the ad never says that this is a factory set-up.

It says "Yes a 12hp kohler motor is what this tractor had on it when it left ill. In 65/66".

Heaven only knows how many places in Illinois it was and what all was done to it before it went to a different state some 4 to 6 years after it was built.

Great follow-up information Merk, thanks.

And the same guy refurbished it since the 2011 ebay ad and again is trying to sell it for his friend Jerry.

Does "refurbished" mean a quick once over with a wire brush and a few cans of spray paint?

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.
