Weird, I wonder if someone had that rim/tire on a trailer once? But then who balances trailer tires? Nice find though!

Putting that on a trailer would be pretty catastrophic, as neither the tire, nor the wheel, nor the bearings are for high-speed applications.

I'd say that's just another idiotic PO mod and nothing more.

Update: Tonight, I got it fired up for the first time in 7 yrs (the guy I bought it off of says that it has been parked for 7 yrs because they went out one day and it wouldn't turn over so they replaced it......WOW!). I just replaced the gas tank, plug, and carb and it fired right up. Well, I decided to mow with it tonight and I was very impressed by the performance it gave to my yard!! I've never mowed with a gear drive (I've plowed snow and dirt with them, but never mowed) since I have had cubs and I wasn't for sure how I would like it, but come to find out....it was a blast!!! I'm very pleased with this purchase and can't wait to get the cab on it.

I greased the fittings before I ran it, but the deck would not receive any grease through the zerks. Does anyone know why they wouldn't? Thanks in advance for your kind comments!

I was just at Harbor Freight the other day and saw a tool for opening up stuck zerks. Maybe something like this would help?

I was wondering the same thing. To me it would seem like 1st is too slow and 2nd is too fast. I have a 1200 but never used it for mowing. I like my hydro's for tilling, plowing and mowing. They provide infinite ground speed selections.
Nice find!!

I love mowing with a gear drive especially one with a creeper because sometimes i have to go slow through high grass i can row gears instead of just holding the hydro lever

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.
