It's funny how Travis and Sam both referenced Mike and Lew 3 years apart. On a side note I want to drive that thing.

Story on that one allegedly was the guy drove it out of the shop, did a circle in the drive and noticed the weights on the end were really getting saggy then brought it back into the shop.

Many years ago we sold a small scale pulling sled to a fellow out of Virginia. He showed me a pic of a Deere he had with a bar mounted on the back loaded with tractor suitcase weights, going by memory it was like 6-10 on it--at 80-100 lbs each. Same guy showed me a pic of a four wheel drive four-wheeler with a weight rack on the front--it had so many weights on it that it appeared to want to tip over. He claimed it leveled out when he hooked to a sled. The darndest overweighted machine I ever saw is a very old photo of a Deere 4020 with weights literally hung everywhere, think it was back in the 70's.

As Sam says, if it breaks, something important is coming with it!

I can see it now, your mowing the hill out back and then the axles snaps, the wheel and weights take off gaining speed. At the bottom of the hill is your house, it goes through the back wall and out the front, across the deck and onto the hood of your new truck, coming to rest somewhere in the back seat. I'm sure Farmer's would cover 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.
