Question 1894, Rare or Worthless
I brought it home yesterday evening then started searching the threads but didn't find any comments or questions about the 1864. Being new I may have been in the wrong spot.How do I tell if I have the CCC or MTD or is there a difference. his is my first Cub and I'm falling in love.

There is no 1894, but an 1864. Is that what you have?

I agree, with Todd. I bet, you have an 1864. You posted in the right place. Congrats on your cub!

That's a good heavily built tractor that is just 1 step down from a super. I'd compare it to a 318 Deere.

Love or addiction, I know its better than any Garden tractor I ever sat on and I know I'm excited about it and it takes a lot to excite a 67 year old kid.

Default A little starting problem
When the 1864 turn over it turns fast and strong but I have to keep fiddling with it. I think the problem may be with a safety linkage connected to the brake. I see there is an adjustment for that in the owners manual but with Thanksgiving company I havent gotten to that yet. If that's not yet I will be back begging for help, it's great to have someone to turn to.

When I bough my 1864, the gentleman also had a 1862 for sale, It had a lot more hours on it but ran great.I could link you up with the fellow,we are in West Virginia so someone close might be interested. He knows nothing about them because they came thru an inheratance. He was asking $650 for it but don't know if that was firm.

The 1864 is the top of the line, gas powered, "cyclops" standard tractor. It is not a Super Garden Tractor and not a diesel. The term cyclops comes from the single headlight lens cover. It should have an 18hp Kohler Command V-twin with power steering. The 1863, was the same without power steering and then the 1862 you referred to may not have had a Command V-twin but a Kohler Magnum opposed twin and so on. Not 100% sure about that but what I do know is that you will now get the Cub Fever and you will see these machines everywhere. Every little glint of Yellow and White in someones back yard will cause you to clip mail boxes and carry binoculars in your car. Later, you will start to see Red ones, then you'll look for stacks coming out of the side panel and realize its a diesel. Then the buying, selling and trading begins, and there's the storage sheds that need to be built and then the marital difficulties start. Beware!

Very well said. But, now even my wife and daughter come home telling me about a yellow and white mower they saw somewhere.

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.
