Default Kevin from TN

I live in Manchester, TN. I have 2 Cub Cadet 1330 lawn tractors. The story of how I ended up with two is kind of interesting. The first (Cub #1) was originally my Dad's. I used it for several years but at the end of Summer in 2004 the right rear axle broke. I checked all the Cub Cadet dealers in the area and was told that I could not buy only the axle & would have to buy the entire transmission assembly which was over $400.00 at the time! I searched around all Winter and at the beginning of Summer 2005, I finally found a second Cub Cadet 1330 for sale at "Smith Equipment" in Shelbyville, TN! The Second (Cub #2) was in excellent condition except for it had the same problem as mine, but it's Left axle was broke! I paid $400.00 for the ENTIRE tractor. I used Cub #2 initially as a parts supply to fix Cub #1. I never gave up on Cub #2 though. In 2007, I was still searching for axles to fix Cub #2 when I finally found a business on eBay (RF Houtz & Son) who had a rebuilt Cub Cadet 1330 transmission listed! I contacted them and asked where I could get a set of axles for my Cub #2. They said, "We have them in stock!" Cub #2 was saved! I ordered the axles and a few other parts I had cannibalized for Cub #1 and rebuilt Cub #2! I now had TWO complete Cub Cadet 1330's!

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.
