I just looked at a 108 today and looked at three others in the past few days. All four of them have the slot for the creeper shifter but none have the shifter and I didn't take off the tunnel cover to get a closer look. I have only owned hydros so I don't know much about these. Is the creeper gear a seperate gear box from the tranny that can be removed? Why are all of these missing?

Yes, the creeper is a separate gearbox that was optional. It uses a shorter driveshaft too. For a better explanation, you could probably see the details on a parts lookup.
There is a chance on the Cubs you looked at the creeper boxes may still be in place, but the handles are broke off or removed. |

They aren't missing...it was an option. There's no sense in making 2 different tunnel covers for tractors with and without creeper. Most tractors don't have them. It's extremely unlikely the handle would break off, and it wouldn't be removed without removing the creeper.

I understand not making different tunnel covers, but the one I looked at today had the "HI LOW" on the decal. It wouldn't make since to use that decal, I could understand the slot being there though, just as the hole is in my fender pan under the seat on the 149 for a shifter but it is covered with a plate. Just curiuos, I would like to have a gear drive so am looking. I will take a closer look tomorrow just in case.

Same thing...doesn't make economical sense to have 2 different decals for the gear drives, either.

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.
