154 Cub Lo-Boy
I am working on a 1972 154 Cub Lo-Boy that needs a little (actually a great deal) of tlc....and parts! The clutch was loose and not working properly, the wire harness has been chewed and has corroded in various areas, the throttle cable is damaged and it needs a tune-up. The PO had installed a clutch but did a terrible job and left extra hardware laying all over the transmission case and in the nooks and crannies of the frame. As you can see from the pics it is a leaker. Found a few transmission mounting bolts partially backed out and the frame has been patched and welded. Forgot to mention, the PTO linkage is missing parts too!

About 25 years ago I helped dad replace a clutch and I think an engine to transmission shaft in one of those. Seems there were multiple shafts available, and they were quite pricey from IH even back then. Seems like there were issues where the frame bolted to the rear as well. I'm still waiting on some one to repower one of those with something with enough power to do some good. One thing about it, those were fairly popular machines.

Beth,
You may already know these places, but check them out for parts. Hamiloton Bob's. http://hamiltonbobs.com/cart/search/...cub-lo-boy-mm4 HB's is probably the best source, as you can get package deals for the clutch/driveline stuff. Steiner: https://www.steinertractor.com/Inter...T=57A6D7EB4ECD Steiner doesn't offer package deals, and prices are comparable. All States Ag Parts doesn't carry too much for the LB's but what little they do have is a bit cheaper. Might call them. They may be able to get more parts than they list. https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/int...ts-s/84339.htm Be sure the check ebay too. Sometimes you find a little better pricing. The driveshaft is the most expensive part. The clutch stuff isn't bad. Neither is the trans brake. Let me know if I can help. I've been into that stuff a few times. |

Thank you for the links Jonathan. Indeed, parts are expensive for these things!

I have two of them, get most my parts from ebay, and local shops that have one for parting out. Clutch set fails all the time on these....mine is going on three years with no issues. The frame rails break just above the mounting bolts for the differential...mostly from over loading and lack of maintenance....the bolts loosen a little and before you know it, a crack is formed.

I dunno.... it's all relative. They're more expensive than a Cub, but cheaper than a big tractor. The driveshaft is really the only expensive part. Clutch is cheap. If people wouldn't wait until they're destroyed before fixing them, it wouldn't cost so much to fix. |

In my experience, customers with small tractors were always shocked by parts and repair prices. However, the converse was true when it came to choppers and combines. Chopper repairs on 7000 and 8000 series Deere models could easily be 20k and the farmer would not freak out!

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.
