Thanks John. My grandfather bought the MF 7 new in 1970, so it’s kind of special to me. It’s a nice tractor, but too small to do much other than cut grass. I wouldn’t mind having a bigger one like a 10 or 12 though. I like the looks of them too.

Thanks Greg. Yeah, they all run, these are the ones that I currently use the most. Most of my others run too but a few have some small issues that need to be fixed.

I tried out the much modified tiller today. I had let a couple of small plots get way out of hand with thick weeds so I figured it would be a good test.

wrecker duty
I hooked my cherry picker to the 2084 and used it to place my metal shaper (project) on it's newly painted cabinet. At 300 lbs that's pretty close to the limit without adding weights to the front axle.
After that I moved a big tree trunk log around the front yard. I wrapped a chain around one end, hooked the hoist to it, lifted it off the ground and dragged it about 20 feet, with a few course corrects enroute. This exceeded the weight limit so I had no steering, just straight ahead. To turn 90 degrees I had to disconnect, turn the tractor, and reconnect. No pics on that. |

Prior escapade.
I guess I should post this also. Last month my neighbor rented a cherry picker lift to cut down some dead trees that were overhanging our houses. To get to one of his trees we had to get the machine into his upper back yard. This was up a short steep dirt ramp. then an immediate right turn to get past a couple big trees. His pickup would not fit, so the plan was to use my 2084 to pull it the ramp.
When he got home from the rental yard I saw a problem - the thing weighed 3800 lbs and was 25-ft long! No way I could pull that up. Plan B: Using the pickup we backed it up the ramp as far as we could get it, which wasn't much. Then I backed my Cub against a tree on the other end of that upper yard. I ran a strap around the tree and attached it to the Cub's tow hitch. Then I ran my winch cable from the front down to the machine. It sucked it right up where we needed it without breaking a sweat. It was a bit hairy coming back down with it but it worked out. This 2084 is sure earning it's keep! Now if I could just figure out how to get my pics rotated |

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.
