Default A NON-Original !!!

Went out and picked up my next mower. I've got a mating pair of Originals, so I guess it's time to start looking at other species.

My brother bought this one to do up, but decided against it. I paid him what he had in it. Engine turns over free, clutch works and came with a deck.

Now the details. The deck is roached out bad. If I could get the sheet metal part and swap over all the cast parts, I'd be good to go. It has a plastic seat on it (125?). It's got lights (front/rear) and fenders. Oh yeah, and an auxiliary fuel tank!

Now, I'm thinking that this is an early 70? It has a key and a starter button (so at least I'll know how to start it), and the engine was swapped out for a K301a. Don't know if it runs yet. Will have to try that later.

Serial number is on the rearend and reads - 173545. Now, there's possibly a 3 in front of that number (or a really creative scratch).

So, does anyone know for sure what I have here?


Here's the serial number plate


And try not to be too impressed! Oh, don't work on it with more than 1/2 a tank of fuel!


The Dash


And that seat is going to leave as soon as I can find a different one.


I had to move the other ones out to bring it home so, I figured it was time for a family photo.

You have from what I can tell is a 100, judging by the engine size. Unless someone can decipher the serial # and tell you it's a 70, I'm going with 100. The seat was one that was used on the 102/122 series. The fuel tank looks non-cub related. Looks like it has potential to me.

I've never seen a 70/100 with the tag on the rear end like that and the shifter looks incorrect, I'd bet the rear end is from a newer tractor.

The front end and frame is definitely a 70/100 but the rear end must be out of a 1x2

I'm not sure what it is, but you should check your oil BEFORE you fill the tank.

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.
