Default Will this CC 100 fit into my rusty 2007 Dodge Caravan?
In case you were wondering- Yes. Had to pop off the steering wheel and jostle the deck lever (both top clearance) but other than that, this poor van once again impressed me. Off to kid's grandparents to mow a path on the hill so they can do some snowboarding come winter.

Nice tractor! Looks like its pretty original, and I like it that way. These old Cubs often look pretty good if you leave them be and don't bother with paint. Also, you'd be surprised what people fit into those old Dodge minivans...

Grand use for a Mini Van, looks good. I was thinking about snow today as well.
If its OK with you all I would just as soon hold off for a while.

Thanks CC107- I make sure the tractors I have are mechanically sound- tires, electrical wiring, fuel system, etc... but I've not restored one yet. I do like restoring stuff but much of that time/effort/$ goes into vintage cast iron agriculture/blacksmithing items- corn shellers, grinders and handcrank drill presses. I've owned CC tractors for many years but with minor care they keep doing the work so I keep them working. The restored cubs, done right, are a beautiful thing though- Best- SD

Thanks Ken! My son was bugging me to get the hill mowed so he can snow board this winter so I figured I'd better put him to work while he was willing! And yes, the snow can hold off as long as possible- no problem with me- though I see you're in Montana(?) so hopefully you see it before me! Driven through Montana several times to visit family north of Spokane- a beautiful (and long) drive! Best- SD

IHCC147 Hmmm- I'd get a hold of a super cub first! I had to remove the steering wheel on the 100 for clearance so suspect I'd have quite a time fitting anything larger- I have a 149 as well and and can't imagine that fitting. I am able to fit all the snow boards and sleds in their along with the Honda ATC I use to bring the kids back up the hill for snowboarding- CC tractor was deemed too slow for that duty! Best- SD

If getting the bolts back in wasn't such a PITA you could always drop the steering column.

Would letting air out of tires give you enough clearance?

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.
