I rescued my 73 from a cold grave. No, it's not restored but I am always amazed at the power that 7 hp engine gives me when it is needed and I like the design of this tractor. It's all original and I hope that it remains that way. This winter, it plowed 4" of snow with an additional 3" of ice under it and the tractor seemed to ask....."Give me more!!!".
As a 73 owner, I would echo what others have already stated........rebuild and you'll be glad that you did!! If you need to get the 73 back in action quickly and a 12 hp is more feasible at this time (for the $$ or time or whatever), then save your 7 hp and rebuild it at a later date when it is more convenient. Many of us in this forum appreciate the craftsmanship and history of these fine machines and we don't dismantle or drastically alter them, unless absolutely necessary (ie. installing a hydraulic lift, etc..). I'm sure we would all like to see some pictures of your 73......... Cub Cadet 123

Replacement motor....
I should tell you to have your original 7hp. k161 rebuilt. I'am in the same boat. Bigger is better, so I'am going to run a 12hp. k301 in my 72 model. These k161's are very powerful, but I would up-grade to the more hp. motor and keep my 7hp. up on the shelf. Its up to you what you choose to be using your very cool 73 model tractor for! Cheers!

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.
