Default Not a Cub Cadet but a Farmall Cub....Sad

Well I thought most of you guys would like to see this and most will think it is a shame as I do. Where I work they have this Farmall Cub that was at one time converted into a forklift....no big deal right?? WRONG!! The serial number is 502!! If I'm not mistaken they started at 501.

The picture isn't very detailed, but it almost looks like a Farmall BN.

Definitely a cub engine and cub hood/fuel tank. I don't know if they ever made anything like that from the factory. Usually special made equipment had different serial number tags or modified stamping to the tag. So it might be a home made deal with cub #2 used.............

Under edit: after looking at the tag again, it appears there's a PP stamped on there as well. Hmmm.........

That's a Farmall Cub. What a shame on such an early one.

PP should stand for powerplant so it was probably the 2nd power plant cub built turned into a forklift.

IH Made a lot of fork lifts out of tractors using a "reverse operation kit" I have a 47 Farmall Cub serial number 529, you are correct the beginning serial number is 501.

Yeah, but if it wasn't a forklift it would probably have made it into a scrapyard by now.

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.
