New Cub Fan from NY
Hello all,
So it basically started with a snowblower for me. Got tired of clearing my driveway with a dinky little box-store Ariens (they sure don't build those like they used to) and found a 268 snowblower on eBay right down the street from me. I wound up buying it *just* before we had that big storm in the NE; close to 40 years old and didn't miss a beat in the 18 inches I had on my driveway. So, I started looking at the old Cubs; I'd wanted one for a while, but just never had the room and money to grab one. However, one fateful night on Craigslist, I saw a 108 with a mower deck in the next town for sale for $200. Drove over there the next day and gave it a once over......paid the guy on the spot. My favorite tractor I own now (out of the 10 total I have now, not including a couple of Model L Gravelys :biggrin2.gif  . In fact, I like it so much, that I'm getting rid of a couple of my other machines to make room for a couple more Cubs. So, yeah....Love the site and I'm looking forward to learning a lot and helping out where/when I can.  Just for good measure, here a couple of pics when I brought it home and kicked my wife's car out of the garage. It's been cleaned up some since; still needs some paint though:      PS Yeah, I know...there's a JD seat on it, but that will be taken care of shortly.

Thanks, guys. I really have to do something about that back fender. Looks like someone backed into the garage/shed wall one too many times. Bought it from the original owner more or less; he passed away and his friend, from whom I bought it from, was in charge of selling his possessions. Engine was either maintained very well or not used much; standard bore with no smoke or oil consumption to speak of, though there was a little more carbon in the chamber than I like to see.

Welcome from Croton on Hudson, NY. Where in Westchester County are you? I bought my first Cub in April this year.

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.
