Well.... sure weight matters.... but so does gearing and cubic inches and engine speed. Motor on the F-Cub larger, but doesn’t run very fast. Later on they bumped up the HP of that engine just by increasing the RPM of the engine. Plus the F-Cub trans spun faster, and the gear down was done with final drives. The Cub Cadet uses a gear reduction box before the transmission. Faster trans with a slow down in a final drive produces much more torque at the wheel. So...... although they are similar, they are very, very different.

It's funny that even though my cubs only have 9 horsepower or so, they are still traction limited. No locking differential is a big minus. It does help that you can add liquid to the tires as well.

I came across these instructions to add a creeper. Does anyone happen to have one and the other related parts I need to add one?

Steve you may know this already but I see your want ad too. The wide and narrow frame creepers are the same except for the handle and you’ll need a wide frame handle. Members yosemite Sam and Jeff in pa sell them. Good luck.

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.
