Whats a lot of hours
On that 1450 I bought. It has one of those hard to understand hour meters on it. The round type with the red, yellow and white needels on it. If I read it correctly, it has apx 170 hrs on it. Could it be possible for those type of meters to go all the way around and start over agian, Do you guys change these out to a newer easier to read style?

Here is the link to learning how to read the meter. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=2931
And yes the meters just keep going around and around, so there is really no true way to know how many hours are on the mower and engine, etc. You can get a good judge by how well the motor works and the transmission. My 1250 had somewhere around 500 hours if I remember correctly, but I found out that the motor had been changed out with a 14 hp unit at some time. Other than that it was in excellent original condition and ran great. Swapping out the hour meters is pretty straight forward. Just need to pick on up at an auto parts store.

I never even bothered to look at the hour meters on the tractors I bought. My thoughts are that the hours they were left sitting are going to far outweigh the hours they were running, and letting it sit to rot is the worst thing one can do to it.

Thats what I thought about it just keeping going around. I have a smaller numerical one that I was going to wire in andjust leave the the original one in the dash as the new one won't fit the hole. I was going to find room under the hood to tuck it somewhere. But, what is considered a lot of hours?

Taken care of=over 1500 IMO. We have had quite a few Cubs with well over 1000 hours, and they were in better condition then later ones with fewer hours and abused. Like anything take care of them, and they will last along time, with general care. Jeff

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.
