Bought a Lo-Boy today
My dad spotted a Lo-Boy today on the way home from work. We went and looked at it and ended up giving the guy $1500 for it. It has a 59" Woods belly mover on it as well. It looks like crap, It runs good and it'll make mowing 1.5 acres a snap. I really don't know anything about the lo boys, but I believe it's a 68 based on the 250 serial number. It needs some new hydraulic seals I'm guessing based on the fluid laying on the deck. No big plans for restoration or anything. I'll probably put some seals in it and shoot it with a coat of paint, but it's a user. Any info sources you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

Fresh air and mowing grass on a tractor, you'll love it. My dad has one and it's a fun little tractor. The only thing I didn't like was the PTO worked off the transmission clutch. If you get in to tall of grass you can't push in the clutch and let the mower clear. You have to stop and put it in neutral or turn the mower off back up and turn it on again. But maybe your PTO runs different. Don't let the grass get away from you and you'll be fine. Have fun and keep us posted.

Hi... I own a LoBoy 154 and love it... Yours looks like a 185 and if its operational, then that was a good price. I paid more than that for mine several years ago. Congratulations! I strongly recommend you order the Operators, Service, and Parts manuals. You can get them from www.binderbooks.com. You need all three IMHO because each has needed information not found in the others.

The offset of the seat struck me as being a little odd at first. I've since learned that IH called this "Cultivision".

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.
