Default Cub "O" Serial # Verification
Painted looks just like 3 digits 568. Removed paint and I think I'm seeing a 5568. I rubbed some chalk over it to try and bring the numbers out. Looking for some input.

Hole in the frame for a creeper vent. Pretty sure it isn't a 3 digit. 4 digit I can believe.

It looks like 568 to me. It must have had a creeper at one time, or they changed out the frame as it probably cracked and was replaced.

Agreed, looks like 568 to me. My four digit is close to 10k in serial and has no hole on top either. Very cool to see that axle. What's on bottom right of steer tower? Hour meter? It's looking like you got a very early one, WOW, awesome. Love seeing the differences in this model as the serial progression happens.

Yes thin front axle, collar spindles, heavy hood, thin spaced rims and no hole in dash tower where your tail light wire runs through.

Just a big sloppy hole which is on both sides that someone cut to adjust steering column.

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.
