Default I just got this 1966 Model #71 Cub Cadet almost never used
I bought this Cub Cadet from an estate sale and paid $200. It never had a mower deck. Was told it was only used to seed the lawn. Came with a plow but maybe was used one time. Sat in the garage for about 40 years due to the homeowners illness. Really great condition. All the tires were flat. I filled and they were all still soft and supple. The inside gas tank was really clean. Had to order new carburator gaskets b/c of 40-year-old gas damage. Waiting for those parts and will start up in a week. Don't know if I should use it or go to a museum.

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.
