Default My first cub
Hello fellow cub owners. I just purchased my very first cub a couple of days ago.
I have been patiently waiting the moment to find what I wanted at a reasonable price. I purchased this 1250 hydro for 300.00 bucks. every thing seems to work, but is a little rough around the edges. Motor does not smoke or make any disturbing noises. The carb seems to loosen as the motor runs??? So I took it off, along with the gas tank and muffler. I absolutely love these machines and will enjoy making this a great machine again. Anyways its a start to a new passion and collection. I was so pumped to see there was a Forum for cubs only.
I was doing some research on the serial #. U651726. I think maybe a 1980, or 79
. Not quite sure. I plan on tearing her down and doing some well needed TLC. Love the site. Here are some pics of the 1250.

Nice 1250! It definitely becomes an addiction...a lot faster than you would think. Did you get side panels with it?

It didn't come with side panels unfortunately. If I come across a set some day, I might buy them. I was wondering if they can be used from a different tractor, like the 1450 or 1650.

That's good to know. Make them easier to find maybe. Those panels will just have to wait anyhow. I need to make her purr first. Then some better tires.

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.
