Question question about a 108

I am looking at a 108 in a auction and it is clearly a narrow frame, another one I seen on CL is a wide frame and thats what tractor data shows to.

Did they make the 108 both ways or has the one im watching had the number changed. here is a pic of it.

Those decals look correct, Sometimes with decals the "6" and "8" look alike, I believe that to be the correct set of decals and everything. It is a nice looking Cub! If I were you, Id consider buying that cub, it looks to be in nice condition... But then again looks can be deceiving! Haha

I looked at the pics closer and one I didnt put on here and it could be a 6. I would say they listed it from the pic and it does look like a 8 to someone who dont know cubs, heck I didnt know till I looked up a 108 and I have 5 cubs. I sent then a email about the misstake, someone else not knowing might pay mor thinking its newer than it is.

this is a nice history wright up of the older cubs, www.xtrememotorworks.com/Cub_cadet_History.htm

Good thinking! I saw someone the other day on eBay trying to pass a 70 off as a Original.... I emailed them about it, unfortunately people bought it thinking it was an O. Ignorance can cost $$$!

Good eyes everyone! And good luck at the auction! Here's a little tid bit that i didnt know until i joined here, and for the life of me cant find right now, but that early 108's were in fact narrow frame tractors. Even the ads that IH ran sometimes showed the wrong tractor with new specs. I have only ever seen one of these early narrow frame 108's, they are extremely hard to find!

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.
