Maybe somebody put them on there after they bought it. Cause it says hydrostatic. And they are on the wrong sides.

Like Tim, I was curious as to why that decal was used. However, that is my favorite decal of all of the narrow frames.

Looks like they started with an Original. This was made before the 123s

As mentioned Charles Ricketts, a Sundstrand engineer, built it as a proof of concept using an Original. It's been restored.

The info is in 50 Years of Cub Cadet by Oscar Will. Great book for anyone on this forum.

As for the decals, my guess is he just used newer looking decals to set it apart when he was presenting, so it didn't look so much like an O.

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.
