That is very cool indeed. Wonder what they did with the prototype? I could not find anything else about it.

I like the fact that it will not only mow my lawn but do my chores as
well. Great pictures on the advertisements. Ken |

Apparently in the future we would only have absolutely level yards with no gopher holes or any soft spots for those tiny tires to fall into.

A pretty leggy young woman in high heels mowing with a man relaxing in a lawn recliner observing.
That sure is a fantasy. The dome looks like a very big plastic cup with lid, that only lacks a straw. Now getting technical, It appears to me that "wonderboy" prototype has 3 casters that it sits on, wondering how it allows it to operate? or have I ruined the fantasy?

You had me hooked thinking about the lady and then indeed
you ruined it going on about mechanical stuff. Ken |

Understanding more than air conditioning for cooling is a great feature. My friend has asthma. He has 30 acres, but has only 10 of it mowed. He borrowed my 7232D to mow when his mowing person quit on him. I asked him how he liked mowing with it and he said that he cannot mow because of his asthma condition, so he hired someone to mow with it. He said he was looking for something with a cab that had air conditioning in it, not for the comfort but for this condition. I think this innovation is creative and has a market for it. Also, the zero turn was nothing new, as the picture indicates. My dad had a very old mower, I think Simplicity, with zero turn many, many years ago.
Cool stuff and great find! Thanks for sharing some yesteryear, vintage memories DeltaCub. Cub Cadet 123

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.
