Default 72

Picked this little 72 up off of CL for $150. It runs great with no smoke, looks like original paint and decals, deck is in great shape but has a frozen spindle. I do have the air cleaner cover but I need to find a filter. What is with these rear tires? I don't think I have seen this style before.
I also picked up the brass tag #80 JD cart for $25.

Oh yeah...

meant to comment on the tires.. I have seen them on an original before... but never a tractor that late.. If memory serves me correct they are BF Goodrich..

anybody know how many 72's were built?? Its got to be a fairly rare model.

Neat little tractor. Your gonna love it. Those are Bridgestone/Firestone Diamond Pattern turf flotation tires and are still available in limited sizes. They were used on the IH Lo-Boy 154, 184 and 185.

I think adding a return spring is redundant, it already has the bungee.

This is from the original's service manual, same tires I think. Guess someone had a set lying around? I like em. Good score on the cart too, I take one all day long for $25.

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.
