Default New to the Cub Cadet world
Hey everyone,
So I saw this for sale and bought it for somthing to tinker with. I'm new to the world of cub cadet and had a few questions for you guys.
1. It has a weight box on the back, is that somthing the old farmer put on there? Or was it an extra?
2. I'd like to add a creeper gear and was wondering a good what a good price is? I've found a whole setup for $250
3. Does this look like a good buy for $150
4. Are the k241 with the high compression heads rare?

Thanks in advance and looking forward to the resto.

Are you trying to post pics directly from your cell phone? If so it always works better if you crop the picture before posting.

Welcome to OCC!
It looks like a good deal for the tractor.
A so-so deal on the creeper, but not out of line
All looks factory to me but others who are experts on the weight boxes will confirm.

Thanks Terry, glad to be here. The creeper gear is only a few towns over so I don't mind paying for convenience.

The weight box looks homemade, the real ones are shorter and longer. If your going to add a creeper I would also add a new driveshaft, clutch and throwout bearing, these items will definitely have some wear on a machine that old. We have a member here that makes shafts for a very reasonable price, his screen name is Jeff in Pa. Here's a link to his thread.

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.
