71's were only made from 1965 to 1967. A 1961 Cub would be what we call an "O" or Original.
Do you have some pics of your Cub? This link will give you the timeline of the cub models. http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/Cub_cadet_History.htm

You can change the gears in the rearend. I've never done it but that's one way to make it quicker.

If you want more speed in the tranny, you can get an over drive gear from Mid West Supper cub or one from Vogle. My friends run Vogle in theirs they say its easier to install. Get a 10% over drive and it will go faster.
If you want more HP, then you can drop in a 12 HP in it. You can put a 14 in it but you'll have to change the flywheel with a 12. I'm putting, if I ever find the time, a 14 in my 126. Using a 12 flywheel. Little Vince's 582 was real slow in second gear, I pulled the rear out of it and stuck one in from a 124. Much better to plow with, just a tad faster make all the difference. If you do the over drive on yours your looking at half a day at the most to do it. Pull the rear, pull the pinion, you'll get a new one with the kit, and then pull the bull gear. reinstall everything and you ready to go. Tilt the rear up and you'll have very little oil loss. Did one for a guy in the shop a few months back. I did it in like 1.5 hrs in a 100.

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.
