Default What happen to the enthusiasm for the cub cadets and the willingness to pass on knowl
The title says it all, did the old school guys move to different sites or is there no longer any enthusiasm for the older cubs? I recall not long ago everybody there was a lot of info being shared or people were getting excited to start preparing there machines for snow removal and proud to show them off what happened? If your wondering the word in the end of the title is supposed to be knowledge but evidently there's a limit to how many characters you can have in the title?

I have a number of Cub Cadets that I enjoy upgrading, repairing and when time allows, restoring. For me, life is encroaching on my free time for this hobby and, as a result, less time to share and post here. I am grateful for the knowledge base and other resources available on this site.

Could be wrong, but I believe only the early JD’s had a Knole attachment available. Hard to find and harder yet to modify to a Cub.

A " Knole " is half-way to knowing something
"Knowledge " is when you know it all

I got a free 1863 12 years ago and joined this forum. I received a lot of help from the members here getting it repaired. When I go back and read that thread I see that some of those guys are dead now. Some are in their 70's and 80's and are less able to use and repair 25-30 year old tractors. Some of the guys who still have Cub Cadets don't use them to mow anymore. I don't remember ever asking for help on here and not getting a reply.

It was definitely different 12 years ago thats around the time I got my first cub it was a 129, that was going to the scrap pile. I to gained a lot of knowledge from the older guys in the group. I guess now I'm one of them (as much as I hate to say it) Throughout my time here
I have learned much and I also tried to pass on some of the tips or tricks I have learned. Its sad but true the guys before us are going to greener pastures RIP. I don't have a son to hand my cubs down to and my daughters could care less theres no grandsons at least not yet, so in my family the addiction dies with me. I guess the older cubs and the ability to work on them are going to be things of the past.

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.
