NTM 1968 Cub Cadet 104
 
9 Attachment(s)
A 'freebie'! It was born in May, 1968 (53 years young). It's been sitting for a long time, steering is froze up. Grille has been push back some, I'll look into that. One hood hinge hole in the hood is broken out. Two tires won't hold air. No key either, I'll try the one from my 108 later. Came with a QA deck and rear backfill blade. Here's some pics:

Very nice!

The keys for all the Narrow Frames and the 1X8 1X9 series are all the same, so you shouldn't really have an issue with that.

Yes, they are the same. I got curious at a show one time and went around with the key from my 125, just to see what models it would fit.

Basically, it fit everything made by IH from the mid - '50's to the early '70's.
It fit a 350, a 560, a 706, a 756, and a 660. There were no 66 series at that show, so I don't know if it will fit them.

IH wasn't big on making different keys. I was told once by an old IH truck mechanic that IH trucks in the 1950's and '60's had only 6 different key patterns. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that the key to my '65 Scout would start our local fire company's '65 V200 series fire truck.

What great luck you have!!! A back blade and a 104 w/ deck and 3 point for free!!!! Wow, whoever you got that off of, I'd be buying them a steak dinner. Nice score on a solid NF cub. Enjoy your great fortune.:beerchug:

I hope that I never leave my truck unlocked when you're around.....hahaha.

Thanks everyone! Not sure what to do with it as yet. Can't put a lot of money in it as the market here for GT's is dead. I might sell it all pretty cheap if someone is willing to come get it.

Free is GOOD! Rear blade is nice! What to do?????..... Get her running again!

Nice freebie, Get it running and you will get more money for it.
