How often do you find a 86?
Folks,
Yesterday I stopped to look at a guys garage. Standing in the door I see a old and new Cub side by side. I ask whats up with the Cubs, He says the old one is for sale. I ask what is was and he says a 86! He said the clutch is stuck from setting in the rain for a couple days a year or so ago. I told him to get a long screwdriver and a hammer. He held the light and I tapped the blade of the screwdriver at the edge of the clutch plate and freed it up. He started the tractor and moved it forward and back. He said it did not jump out of any gears. This guy bought the tractor new in 1976 from a local IH dealer. Jenks dealer sticker on the hood. Tractor is set up to plow snow, but hasn't done much work since he has a Allis WD and a Ford 5000. The 86 has front blade, wheel weights, chains. Also mower deck that has some rust that has had steel patches added. Didnt seem to be charging, pretty normal for these. He had a price, we haggled and agreed. The deal was done. Now just had to break the news to Cheryl. Second Cub to come home in about 4 months! Stopped today and did the paper work and picked up the owners manual. Had my daughters boyfriend, Kevin drive it home, about 1/2 mile to our daughters place. They may plow snow with it till spring? Seemed to run ok. The steering wheel seems to have moved up from the tube? Engine did not smoke, but some old oil smell in exhaust. Headlights in place and work, nice option. No three point hitch  I do have pictures and may get them loaded tonight. On a scale of 1 to 10 it is about maybe a 3-4? When I get the pictures loaded Let me know about these. I am a narrow frame guy. Todd says these wide frames are nice to work on??? Regards, Chris

Thanks guys. This forum has helped me learn a lot about which Cubs to look for.
This was too close to home to pass up. Its not a need thing, its a want thing. I had one of these that was whooped a few years back. Grandson Mike sold it I liked the way it drove.Hope to get the pictures downloaded soon. Seat is toast! Makes the tractor look even rougher! Regards, Chris

Around here if the engine in a Cub runs (at all) makes it a 3 or 4... Add that it drives another 1 or 2... headlights, another 1... Plus it's an 86 add 6 for that... Crap, even without pictures you could have yourself a 12 out of 10 without breaking a sweat!
Congrats on the 86. (Tell your wife she can go buy herself a new pair of shoes)

Addison may claim this one! Yea that's it! one for each Grandchild!       see next post for remainder of pictures. Regards, Chris

more pictures of the 86,
PO in gray hood airing up the front tire a little, had the 86 pulled out of his garage and warmed up for us. How many folks drive a 86 home from the original owner. Kevin is the driver.   After 1/2 mile road trip. The 86 has a new home at Kelly's  Few more shots. The funky piece of black stuff (like roofing material) under the hood was to stop the hood from rattling!  Backed in Kelly's garage  Under the hood grease and grime.   Back right view    Next post has last of the pictures. Regards, Chris

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.
