Default A orange tractor pickup.

I picked this up the other day at an auction, Simplicity 7116 with a sickle bar mower and a 48 inch mower deck.
It has a 3 point hitch, so maybe next plow day I will bring it along.

Put in carb kit and some new deck bearings, hydro has a little creep, but otherwise runs great.

I may keep it but the sickle bar mower is for sale.

Nice Sovereign! Make sure the bevel gear box has enough oil in it.

Awesome! I have had to rebuild countless bevel gear boxes. Oil levels would get low, the front needle bearing would disintegrate causing extensive AND expensive damage to gears and bearings.

Have you checked the axle tube for cracks? It usually happens near the differential hub.

Great yob Lew looks like you grabbed a Halloween tractor! Hope the spooky bevel gear box doesn’t have any gremlins in it.

Yes they are good looking too!
I always liked the pin striping on the one I had.

Thanks Alvy,
All is well, need a new hydro pump drive belt though, but I may have one.

Gilly,
My light saber is bigger.

It's not the size of your saber, it's how you wave 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.
