Cub Cadet Original Diffrences
Today Cub Cadet 123 was picking up a mower deck. We were looking at the two '62 Originals I have and noticed the frames were a little different. After measuring the two frames, we found out that one frame is just a little longer and wider than the other. Was wondering why these frames would be any different....

That's correct. One didn't have any creeper gear hole at all, so I assumed it to be a '61 and that frame measured a little over 1/2" longer and around 3/8" wider. Also, the front axles are 1/4" more in diameter than the later 70's models (70, 71, 72, 73, etc...) along with other models 100.....therefore the bushing are 1" i.d. and 1 3/8" o.d., without ball bearings. I assume this last part is due to engineering realizing that the bushings wore excessively and replaced them with ball bearings, adjusting for a slight reduction in the front axle post by 1/4". Does anyone have any history that they could shed on these anamolies on the original? Thanks...

Just remembered...... there was also a difference in holes in the front of the frame, what the mule drive bolts to.

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.
