Default I miss my Cub Cadet 1450
I had a 1450 and decided to sell her a good friend a few months back. Now I find myself looking on Craigslist far too much and what I have a taste for is a 147 or maybe one of the newer tractors in particular there is a 1810 with 400 hrs on it that keeps showing up.

I currently have a Deutz Allis 916 that Im mowing with, a 4018 Ingersoll full dresser that's going nowhere but, is not earning its keep due to electrical issues and a Simplicity Sunstar that pushes snow like a dealer on 8 Mile rd in Detroit.

I miss my Cub Cadet, I don't know if its the colors or maybe they just were right on with the engineering but, there is something about them that justifies one sitting in my garage right now! My 1450 was one of my favorite tractors looking back, it was built tough, always started and did everything as designed with no BS.

My 1450 is one of my favorites and a true work horse.

That is exactly why all of us love our Cubs. They get the job done and look good doing it.

147 is an excellent choice, but then again I'm biased.

I second what Roland said! Been using one of my 1450's all summer to mow and pull tractors down to the cub den!

I was surprised when the fellow I wanted to by a 1450 from showed up at my house. It was a dual stick with a very nice power angle blade with it. I have been working on it and plan to get it running perfect and looking as good as I can. I plan on using it regularly. It is also being used as a learning experience for working on hydro models. I have a 1650 lined up next to do a job on. I have to admit I like my narrow frame manual shift models a lot.

I agree. I love my 147 and it'd take a whole lot of convincing for me to part with it. As far as another one, anything pre- CCC is a plus in my book.

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.
