My dad bought a 100 around 1980 when I was about 3. It mowed the lawn until around 2000. I got it from dad in 2009 and used it for a couple years to mow my lawn.I still have the 100 and it’s in the middle of being repainted. I wish I would’ve been able to get it finished for dad to see before he passed.

Grew up on a farm, one grandfather was IH, the other JD. Dad mostly IH but used whatever he got a good deal on.
My first cub was a 129. It belonged to the local model airplane club. We had a flood at the field and the 129 was under water up to the dash. They figured it was junk so I said I would haul it away.
Didn’t mess with it for a year. Decided to bring it in the shop and check it out. Was quite cold out when this took place. Grabbed the front pulley and it was stuck. Next day pulled the head off and it looked fine, grabbed the pulley and it moved. Removed the drain plug and water cane out. You guessed it, the water in the engine was frozen. Fresh oil new head gasket and it still runs like a top.
Came to this website and it’s been all down hill since then.

Edit: the key to the engine being ok is this. When the 129 was parked before the flood, the piston was at TDC. When water entered it raised the oil up and water was below the cylinder. So no rust there. Plus it was completely full of water so no air in there to help the rusting. This is just my theory.

Grew up on a farm--only 2 kinds of tractors red and green and only one shade in each of those--if you don't which shade then you never had the correct ones. Dad went broke farming in 68, but had a 66 110 Deere (still have it), so that's what I grew up using. Worth noting is that he went to town for some IH parts that year and came back with a job, told his mother and brother they could have the farming, he was done. Anyway, he never owned a Cadet until after he retired. I was around them enough when I was a kid because I would go hang around his work on Saturdays. When he retired, the boss closed up shop and dad did lots of small engine and farm tractor repairs here in the farm shop---plenty of Cadet work. Dad picked up a dead 128 from a friend and we fixed it up. When I built my garage, it took up residence here. Dad was trying to keep his grass cut with 2 110 Deere's and a 112--none in great shape. One of his customers called one day and said he was bringing his 2072 over to get running--it had been sitting for a couple years. We got it back going and when I found out the guy was going to sell it, I let my wallet speak as to my dislike for dad's ragged old Deeres. In 2013 dad's health took a sudden spiral downward. He was no longer able to help play/restore with our antique farm equipment, but he could still tinker on smaller stuff. So Cadets it was. Also I could see the handwriting on the wall and knew we had too much grass to cut with small low hp machines. So there are now 3 Supers here. Here is a pic just to warn newbies how fast an unintended collection can grow.

Dad bought a 125 to mow with before I was born (so he's had it 33+ years) and it was the first tractor I drove. I drove a few other brands growing up that my friends had but none of them felt as good as the 125....only made sense when I moved out I'd have one of my own. BTW I grew up IH so there isn't another option.

What brought me to cub cadet was my scout project and Binderplanet.org. Being a member on Binderplanet planet I have learned about so many IH made things. And I really liked a members collection of cub cadets and seeing that IH emblem on the grill. I told myself and wife someday I will get an IH cub cadet. That was 9 years ago, now I have two cubs within 2 months. A 1962 Original and a cub 147!

1811's are a desirable tractor, I think you will have a tough time finding one that runs and isn't beat to death for $500 or less. Have you tried looking on Craigslist?

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.
