Default Snowblower 268
I'm not sure if this is the correct spot for this, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me what was the older color on the cub cadet 268 self propelled snow blower. I have seen them all white, and white and yellow ? I am getting one that is all white and was wondering.

Thanks
Jim

I have one that is all white, but I believe the yellow and white ones were the older ones--not for sure, though. Ariens made them for Cub Cadet and for John Deere and other company. So really, it is an Ariens disguised as a Cub Cadet. One heck of a snowblower that can handle drifts that are taller than it is.

Here is a thread with mine digging in this past winter:

You will be very happy with it's performance, but it is a beast to move sideways if you have to slide it.

Her is a link to the Ariens snowblower history site. They were made by Ariens for IH.

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.
