In the closer pic he posted, it doesn't look like the hole is positioned right to be for a grease zerk.

Although the chain drive deck is interesting, I'm also curious about the hardware just past the gear in the pic directly above. Then again, I'm not that familiar with O's (alright guys, lets leave the jokes at the door here)

Edit: I figured out what it is!! It's got rust and dirt everywhere, but one perfect rim that is impervious to rust!!

That decal looks in amazingly good condition compared to the rest of the tractor.

I think Navistar and MTD both have some tractors stored in warehouses.
This pic was taken at the IH building in downtown Chicago in 1974 commentating the 500,000th Cub Cadet.



I was told by a Navistar exec this same tractor is stored in a warehouse in the Chicago area. This pic shows it pulled out of the crate. I would love to know what's in those other crates.



This pic is a another on display at MTD headquarters in Cleveland Ohio.

Navistar owns/bought the truck division of IH. I don't know why a Navistar exec would know anything about the tractor division. They had nothing to do with it. IH's ag line sold to Tennaco. It is now Case IH, and is based out of Racine WI.

If you say so. This packing slip got me to inquire and I contacted the same man. He had it it pulled out of the crate and emailed me pics. Navistar bought most of IH including it's headquarters.

Navistar may have bought the building and the contents, but they did not purchase anything related to the ownership or rights of the ag division OR Cub Cadet. I believe what you are showing and saying to be true, that they have some things left behind by IH, which is really cool. But they got it by default.

International name for X number of years. all they did was change the name to Navistar. Navistar didn't buy out anyone. just the name changed from International Harvester to Navistar.

the Cub O at MTD, the seat spring is on backwards. they purchased that tractor for their adds some time back from a guy who had restored it. has the incorrect steering wheel to

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.
