Last weekend was 20-30* out and we got 5" of snow. The sun came out on Monday and stayed out all week. Yesterday was sunny and in the 70's. My wife and I spent the entire day working in the yard. By evening I was finally able to get the 680 out and mow. Here are the results:



I'll only post the one picture as the rest are in the " What did you do with your Cub Today?" thread and I don't want to duplicate too much.

I am really glad I took the time to give the 44C deck the time it needed for some TLC earlier this spring. Its running so smooth and quiet I actually thought something was wrong with it as it didn't sound the same as it did last season. Boy she cuts good for being 32 years old.

I used the blade twice this winter! 3,5" . I've mowed twice now. Got taters in radishes an some green onions. Still have tomatoes and peppers to go then I can get the cultivator off and mow with the 1200!

I got to mow with the 1211 for the first time, it did a great job on the lawn and ran good other than it starting to have a miss that got worse the longer I mowed.

Maybe it likes doing real tractor work like plowing.

It was doing it yesterday also but not as bad, it was about 10° colder yesterday, the magneto looked like complete crap and I had to put rubber line over the plug wire because it's in such bad shape so I'm leaning toward that.

Mowed today. After a new axle pin, tightening up the channel, new motor mounts, driveshaft, flex discs, and front bushing and mount last fall the 1250 is like a new tractor. Put a thrust bearing on the steering box also.

Amazing how a few updates and changes makes a machine feel like it is all new again isn't 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.
