Yeah, I always wondered the same thing. But, none of the 7 and 8hp tractors followed suit in the number sequence. The 71, 72, 73, 86 all were outside of the standard deviation. The 71 should have been the 72. The 72 a 74. The 73 a 76. And the 86 an 88. Who knows why they did what they did.

And to add to that it's very interesting to me that during an era of fiberglass dashes and full fenders with padded seats they went back to the basics with the 71, 72, 73 with metal dash, flat steering wheel, pan seat, and no or round fenders, etc.

id be willing to bet that with the availability of larger engines there was less demand for 7hp tractors and therefore no need for an upgrade of the chassis. the other option i could see was ih wanted to offer a classic look tractor as part of there line up. it seems like the 7hp tractor were treated as there own line seperate from the other tractors until they were no longer available

My guess is that even back then Cub Cadet had to try to compete with cheaper brands so the 7hp and 8hp models were built to compete with them. IH used up all the leftover parts on the cheaper tractors and used the new style stuff on the more expensive 'flagship' models. That's just my guess.

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.
