My deck was setup the same way as the deck in that old Cub add. I guess they can go in or out? Maybe one of the O experts will chime in.

I have a 4 digit O with solid dash and collared axles and creepy gear. Creepys were add ons to those and frame had to be cut for the handle. Can it still be correct if it was dealer installed? Wonder when the creepy was introduced. Lew/Martin?

I wonder how good they really are???. I see the frame on Original is welded up pretty good, quiet line plastic grille emblem and creeper holes looks huge is there more questionable things with it. I would like to have that 123 and some others if I didn't have to go to motorcross at metlife that day.

So I had the day off today and went to this auction.
It was a learning experience in different peoples definition of the word "restored". The auction flier billed the Cubs as "restored". Numerous times during the sale auctioneer stated that these tractors were "restored" and "fixed up right, just the way you want them". This is just my opinion, but the majority of the Cubs were "10 footers". They looked good in pictures, just don't get too close to them. There were many tractors that had paint issues. Poor prep was painfully evident and judging by the amount of rattle cans that crossed the auction block that was the paint method of choice. I saw painted decks that had rust through on them, what's the point of that. Mechanically they all did run so that was a positive. I think the prices today reflected the quality of the product. Not a single cub sold for more than 550 bucks. Sadly it was a newer Craftsman that got the highest price of all the lawn tractors, in the 650 dollar range. The day was not a total loss however. We did come home with a 70 that was in nicer shape than the current one in our stable. It will take some work to get it where we want it to be, but it is a good solid start. We also snagged a pair of IH wheel weights for 90 bucks, which is below market value. All these tractors were good candidates to get taken to the next level and properly restored. You could start with much worse. I guess I had higher expectations based on the sale flier and pictures. To me a "restored" tractor is a little more than some rattle can spray on top of rusty, pitted, holey metal. Oh well, live and learn I guess. |

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.
