Default The 73!
Going to pick this up from a fellow forum member tomorrow...

Been looking for one for quite a while. Also getting a blade on the deal too. It will be one of the few that could come off the truck under its own power!

Good looking cub with the correct air cleaner cover and all!! You are really going to like the 73--last of the economy line tractors with the 7 hp engines.
Just plowed snow with mine the other day and there is a surprising amount of power in that engine. Would like to see pictures of it with the blade mounted.

Looks great. Glad to see you go it from another member. My 73 is my favorite to just drive around on, and the old 7 horse has plenty of power.

After a few hours of driving through a bad snow, we finally got home withthe 73. About 15 minutes later the blade was already sold...haha. I will get pictures later. The darn thing is kind of hard to start. Looks like a quick carb cleaning will help it out.

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.
