Cub cadet 1535
 

During my travel today I saw a 1535. I don’t know much about the cyclops series. Wasn’t a hydro it was a gear drive and had a creeper box. Was this an aluminum rear housing? Is the creeper common or an option? Had no engine. What should have been in it? Also saw a 5234D? Slowed down enough to read the #s but didn’t stop to check it out. MTD super diesel?

1535 was the only Cyclops produced gear drive tractor. Creeper was standard, IIRC. Should have had a Mag 15 twin in it. (Detuned Mag 18.) Very, very rare machine. Not many made. You should go buy it! Where in Kentucky did you see it? How much?

The 5234 is a SCUT tractor, not in the GT family. Not much to say. Made by another company and branded as a Cub Cadet. Not real good machines. Lots of issues.

There was a 1535 on Craigslist a while back and I still kick myself for not buying it. It looked to be in great shape and as Jon pointed out they are very rare.

John I’ll find out what he wants for it next time I’m by there. It’s been sittin outside for a while pretty rough but looked like it was all there but the engine. I thought it might be rare being a gear drive.
