Default New To Me 1872

I drove about 3 hours today and pickup-ed a pretty nice 1872. I bought for parts but it is too nice for that even my wife said so. It runs great, but puffs a little blue smoke at start up. It does not have oil smell when it is running. Has 940 hours on a working meter. The PO spent 900.00 on it last year at the dealer getting all the leaks fixed. The steering valve was rebuilt at that time. It steers great. I am very satisfied with it and I think I got it at a descent price.

I have not purchased a book yet so I would appreatite it if someone could look it up and tell me what year it is. I think it is a early on just because the steering wheel looks different than my 1572 and it is a 1987 model I think. The numbers are as follows: MFG DATE C228G, Model Number is 143720100 and the serial number is 773553.

I am in the process of downloading the pictures, so they will be along in few.

Greg

Nicest looking parts machine I've ever seen. That's a keeper.

Another vote for making it a keeper instead of a parts tractor, looks great!

Yep, it is a keeper. I am still looking for a rear for my 1772. When the Mag gets tired I have a D600 to go in its place.

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.
