Instead of powder coating, tell your friend to look into JET-HOT coating the exhaust manifold and or exhaust pipe.

Takes up too much room in the garage with the blade on the front. I like the looks of the mid mount blade.

The little tractor is fun, and it has all the power of a good push mower.

[QUOTE=nikster;307492]A museum piece, driving it was a thrill. Only thing left is a powder coat the exhaust header. My friend went OVERBOARD with this one. Every nut, bolt, whatever is BRAND NEW.
In showing me the birth certificate & history it was born in JUN/JUL- 1947 & the last of its kind., IH then went to LOW BOY.
ENJOY Nik,QUOTE]

Beautiful tractor
Yeah I'm thinking you may have got the last part, "the last of it's kind., IH then went to LOW BOY" mistaken.
Because my 1956 Cub is virtually the same tractor, ain't a low boy.
If I'm not mistaken the low boy wasn't introduced until 1955. Could be off a little, don't have the "IH bible" handy right now.
Mine will NEVER look that sharp

Great looking Cub for sure, assume it is an early one with the apparent attention to detail and the “Circle Cub” decals on the dog legs (“Circle Cubs” are the early productions ones and had those decals and are called out kind of like 4-digit O’s). No hydraulics, I like, my next one will be a Circle Cub w/o hydraulics or starter/lights, simple as it gets and nothing more fun than giving the crank a spin and watching it come to life!

Yep, LoBoy’s started in 1955, I have an early one (39X one made) and they were “badged” International Cubs.


Great pictures, thanks for sharing,

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.
