Friend gets a Super
A good friend acquired his first Cub (IIRC) a few weeks ago... A '97 2086 with a 54" deck, 48" snowblower, wheel weights and chains. He purchased it from the original owner who happened to be a Cub dealer over on the east side of the Twin Cities who took it back in on trade after the second owner didn't want it anymore a mistreated the machine. The tractor had roughly 650 hours a had a seal leaking on the motor & damage to the hood due to a transporting error. The tore the whole motor down a rescaled all of it to make it a new motor. He's still pretty excited about the machine & the guys at the dealership - sounded like they treated him like family. I don't have any pictures though I do ask about how much seat time he got that week (he works the weekend - 4th - shift & I'm a 1st kid) and he usually gets giggly for a bit.

He would actually. I have mentioned the forum a couple of times and I assume he's stumbled upon it as well. It'll be easy to convince him to join. That tractor really seems to sing to him, more than I thought it would. He may have seen or caught onto how enthused I am about my 100 and decided to give it a try.
As a funny side note, his neighbor has a larger "green" tractor with a few 3-pt attachments that got his attention, that was until he saw the price tag. He also has a friend who bought a kinda-"green" tractor from one of the big-box stores with a Briggs in it and all of the wiring melted to the point the tractor almost caught fire.

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.
