If you did or could do anything to your Cub, what would it be. Maybe a adult beverage holder, Led lights or four wheel drive. Lets see or hear them ideas.

If I could afford it I'd put a diesel in every one of them

So far my favorite mod I've done is making my 2B tiller mount to the 1811. Here's the cool part..... it's quick mount. I can take in off by removing the long belt, and pulling one pin. Literally just takes a minute to take it off.... less than 5 to install. (Cause the belt falls off faster than I can lay down and put it on. )

Does a sickle bar only lower to level or can it be angled down a bank, say 25 degrees or so?

IIRC, the lower pivot on a Haban sickle is 30°.

I made three different ones that's helped me do a little more work with the cub. First one of my wife's cousins gave me some old sears implements. A disc cultivator, a very heavy back blade and a plow that's missing the coulter. I don't have pics of the plow yet. And I haven't refurbished the disc cultivator yet. I modified the 3point hitch to attach both the blade and disc to work on the brinly hitch. Then I replaced the aluminum nose with a cast iron nose, and put some really bright lights on the rear.

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.
