Default Another new (old) guy here from CT.
Greetings everyone. I guess you could say I'm about to rejoin the fold of Cub Cadet enthusiasts. Due to the recent passing of my mother, I have inherited a 68 or so CC 104. This was purchased new by my dad waaaaaaaaaayyyy back then and my Mother had still been using it until this year. I picked it up Saturday. The 1 year old battery was dead but I may have saved it good enough to start it up and check it out.

It had a plow, but my mother gave it away to a neighbor years ago so sooner or later I guess I'll be looking for one of those.

Front tires are new, the rear tires are unbelievably original. Considering the age I'd say it's in pretty good condition. I added a cable to connect a battery tender and changed the fuse for the headlights. I think it just gave up from old age, there's no shorts in the wiring.

Just what I need. More old iron and another "hobby". I need a barn now.

Welcome Pat!

I just purchased a 104 from a fella who's dad bought it in '68 - it passed through all of the sons and is still in great shape.

My condolences on the passing of your mom but I'll bet she's pleased as punch that you're keeping 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.
