Default Cub found by accident round #2
Let me start off by saying these Cub forums and "deer" hunting is starting to hurt my pocket!
Ok, quick story about this find. I was once again deer hunting like I was when I found the 169. I came out of the woods near my home when I run into a old high school friend that I haven't seen in 15 plus years. We start talking about the hunting and he invites me to hunt an area he has found. The area is owned by a 90 plus year lady whos husband passed about 8 years ago. Anyways, I meet my friend and we hunt this area. No luck with the deer that day, BUT I come to find this lady has a barn full of old farm equipment and antiques. My friend tells me that (the family) wants to clean out this old bank barn that is full of just about everything. So this long story short, I talk to the son a few days later and he lets me in the barn. Tractors, hay rakes, balers, wagons, etc are in here. In the very corner behind about 20 things I spy a small yellowish color tractor. I climb under and around to find this:
A half decent looking Cub Original. So I start to look it over and I find the serial #. 4 digit very low- 17xx.
I haven't officially "bought" it yet as I need to figure out a price and how I will get this thing out as I mentioned its buried in the barn.
Not real familiar with the O's and don't know what to offer her. Son said a few bucks would buy it. Also, the little old lady tells me her husband worked at an IH dealer and bought this O brand new in 1961.
Pictures to come once I get it out of the barn.
BTW- Wife is no longer letting me "deer" hunt

Now this is going to be an interesting story. I bet you there is more cub stuff in there somewhere to go with it? Time to start cub hunting that barn and give up deer hunting... LOL

Looking forward to the outcome.

That's a pretty low O! Take lots of pics of it when you get it out of there. What sort of shape does it look to be in?

Good job on the hunting!

Careful!! You better not take another cub guy hunting, knowing your history they might shoot you in order to get the prize from that trip.

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.
