Default New to me 104

Ive been on here for a couple of months looking around and wanting a loader Cub. I had a Cub 2160 that I sold, and bought a Cub 104 from a neighbor. I have all kinds of questions..

1st, my serial number on the back of the rear end is #259337. If I have researched right, it was made in Aug. 1968.

2nd, my motor serial #D242440 I have no clue on year other than its a 10 hp I think.

3rd, it has a scrape blade on the front and came with a deck mower. I think I'm missing the mule drive that the front PTO belt runs backs to connect to the deck. The deck #421U1113 I have no clue if it goes with this tractor.

4th, it needs a battery and I have no clue what size.

I know i need some more items, like the right breather cover and headlights and such.. I'm really excited about owning this thing and plan on a full restore as soon as my shop is completed.. Any help i would greatly appreciate it..Thank you for your time in reading my thread..

Chris

Answer:

#1 - You are correct

#2 - Yes, it is a 10HP Engine. The Engine is a 1968 engine and that information is found on page 1.3 of the TP-2379 Service Manual. See Tech Library Section

#3 - That information is also located in the Tech Library Section for Implements.

#4 - Basically, the largest CCA battery that will physically fit in your battery tray.

Nice tractor! Correct deck, but I don't see the deck mounting/lifting carriage, and as you said: the mule drive bracket.

Me wonders if the seller had put the blade on thus removing the mower deck, sub frame and mule drive, then managed to misplace the subframe and mule drive (or just forgot to give it to you) when he sold it.

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.
