I have successfully passed the cub sickness onto my cousin. We started tearing into his first tractor, an original, tonight. I know nothing about these tractors other than the basics of engine and transmission. The clutch is what scares me. We are afraid that it might need a new clutch (or wear pads. Like I said,
I don't know about these things). If you guys could give me the run-down on these little beauties, that would be great. Anything will get me into a better position that I'm in now.

Some of us have redone our O's but this young mans "refurb" will show you pretty much everything involved inside one and is a good read.

Some may do it differently but most try to fix all the mechanicals and make sure everything is right before you take it all down to the nub for paint if that's how far you're going. Nothing worse than to get it all back together and realize something inside one of the major components isn't right, btdt.

The clutch is different because it's belt driven but quite easy to get out and parts are easy to come by as they made a lot of them. I sourced most of mine locally from bearing and seal store. The hubs unlike the later tractors have the friction material bonded to them, there's a collar with a bushing and timken bearings in it instead of a regular throw out bearing but again, easy to take out, no need to pull the engine. Check out the service manual for more info.

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.
