Was there a 104 cyclops?
Ok, saw I saw this on CL today and it got me thinking.
"The 104 "cyclops" was only made between the years of 1967 and 1969 so it is a bit of a rare American history from International Harvester." This is the picture from the ad. Now I have a 105 and the headlightpanel has one circular hole right it the middle, just like this 104 where that headlight is. So was this a factory option? I have no headlight switch that I am aware of and the hole is empty. So what gives? That machine looks to be in good shape. Was it modified for one bulb? Help.

Mike,
That's the first one, I've seen like that. The 104 used two headlghts, like all the cubs, until the cyclop Cub Cadets came out. The headlights were a factory option. |

I have NEVER seen that lighting setup in any Cub Cadet parts or service manual for the 104.
I think it would be safe to conclude, that is a homemade fabrication.

I saw the same ad on the Hartford CL. That's the same guy that added the hydraulics from a Bolens. If he could add the hydraulic lift then adding a single bulb would have been easy.
I liked the part where he said "This is a real tractor not a Craftsman or a Murrey, so please don't offer me the kind of money you can buy one of those brand tractors for." |

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.
