Well, it's not a Cub Cadet
Looking on Craigslist always gets me in trouble,I have been Cub-less for awhile and I saw this thing and for the price decided to take a chance.It's a Snapper 1855 with an 18hp Onan, front and rear PTO's, and the three point hitch.It does not look great but started right up and drove on my truck .It only came with a backblade as the single attachment but that is something I can use right now.I'm sure it will go down the road as soon as I find a Cub I like better but gives me something to tinker with and as the wife says keeps me out of trouble.I will always like Cubs best but like to see how other brands do things hope it's OK to post .It may be hard to tell from the pictures but this thing is as big and heavy as a Super.

I like how the Snappers are easy to use,your snapper has a few options,nothing like an snapper with options.

I had a chance to work on the Snapper for a bit and discovered a kind of twin belt drive ,both shot ! gotta a love a Cub's solid drive shaft. I replaced the belts and with a little help from a manual I was able to download got it up and running.I hung the blade on the back and scratched around in my gravel drive just for fun.Not sure what the future is for this one but always fun to put one back to running/driving condition.

Just Google Massey Ferguson 1855 and sit back! (Same tractor) You got the optional 3pt and rear PTO too, big difference between the 50 series were eaton and the 55 series were sunstrand tranny. Those are great machine and if you got it on the cheap side you stole it.

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.
