Default My friends 1947 Cub
A museum piece, driving it was a thrill. Only thing left is a powder coat the exhaust header. My friend went OVERBOARD with this one. Every nut, bolt, whatever is BRAND NEW.

In showing me the birth certificate & history it was born in JUN/JUL- 1947 & the last of its kind., IH then went to LOW BOY.

ENJOY

Nik,

Very nice tractor Nik!

I think you may have got some of you info mixed up though..... the Farmall Cub was born in 1947.... it can't be the last of it's kind.... it must be the first. Production started in '47 with SN# 501. The Lo-Boy came out in '55.

You are right-o, good sir. I need to find some pics of my Dad's, he was always very proud of it because it was a low serial 1947 he had restored in the same manner as what Nik posted. Only real difference is the one my Dad has has the rear lift with spring assist. Otherwise you'd be hard pressed to tell what Nik posted and my dads apart.

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.
