Question re. Binder Books & original manuals...
I just dropped close to $150 at Binder Books for manuals for both the tractors (1450 after SN cut, 1650 before…) I picked up in the last 2 weeks. The gentleman who took my order was quite helpful and very easy to work with. I’m looking forward to receiving my purchase.
Having said that, I didn't realize until the end of the call the manuals were reproductions. I didn’t get that impression at all from the website. I was a little surprised by this fact. I don't know what the licensing costs are (he’d mentioned they were license reproductions) - but had assumed that, based on the prices, they were originals. So, since they are not, how much ARE the originals?  Anyone have a source for them? I figure the Binder set will be a good "garage set” for reference, but I'd hope to find originals if possible... Also, the Binder rep mentioned that the manuals are scanned versions - I ordered them to be shipped as fast as possible, hoping to get them by this weekend to help with some wrenching - so I guess I'll see for myself, but in the mean time, does anyone have comments/feedback on how good the scanning is? I've seen with some technical document reproductions where (especially on drawings) small details, shaded areas, or small font part numbers can be or are impossible to read. I'm just wondering. I'm not trying to make any waves (nor do I expect any need to) but again, was just surprised about the fact that they're repros. Thanks for any input. -Calvin

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.
