Default nicad/lion retrofit

Back when battery powered tools appeared they were powered by nickle-cadmium batterys that did a so-so job. But then lithium-ion batterys came along and provide more power and last longer on a charge. So I got myself some Milwaukee tools that use their M18 batterys and I am quite pleased. with their performance.

But I've still got a few of those 18 volt ni-cad tools laying around that work fine but the battery packs for them wont hold a charge and are obsolete and unavailable. I didn't want to just trash the tools.

I discovered this item on eBay that fits the Milwaukee M18 battery for $15 bucks and adapted my old tools to take the M18 battery. It works great and the old tools work better than when new.

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.
