To buy another . . .
I'm thinking about getting another Cub. (surprise surprise) I'd like an Original. But if the right deal comes along, I'm open to other models. I saw an "O" and a 105. The 105 has a 12 horse engine. It should be a 10, right? And the "O" was repainted, but not the prettiest job. What are some things you all think I should look out for or stay away from?

If you're into a little road trip, I have a nice running 104 with a plow and 48" deck.

Thanks for the offer. That would be an all day trip for me. I am at the beginning stage of looking. My first preference is an "O". I have a few implements for my 122. The 125 and the "O" I found are only a couple of hours away.

It really depends on what you want to do with your second Cub.
Originals are great fun to use/ride around on and I really like the way they look. They can be weighted but are a little lighter than the models that follow. They also wont cut thick heavy overgrown grass like some of the higher HP machines but will do a good job if you can keep up like you should. One thing to keep in mind is, Originals are somewhat different than the models that followed. After the introduction of the 70/100 series, all of the IH built Cub Cadets are basically the same, different series tractors look a little different, but they are all Kohler powered, the trans-axles and drive lines were pretty-much the same and with the exception of the hydro/gear drive systems you won't find a lot of differences in the different series tractors. IH got it right and they stuck with it.

IMO quality over quantity, and hold out for what you really want.

Without a doubt, Dan. I've seen a couple of junkers with missing pieces. I can be patient. Will probably look into getting a wide frame as well. Just need to make more room in my garage. Time to sell the pony.

Sounds like an "O" is right up your alley. I had two of them for about a year
but grew tired and moved on. They are fun machines but just didn't suit my needs.

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.
