Default New Tractor.. 1961 Original!
Just picked up this very early original. Its been hacked at i can tell... Came with a freely moving deck and a plow that needs completely rewelded and needs a new cutting blade. Its got non original fenders and has a k141 instead of a k161. It has spark and had no compression when i got it but it was just a stuck valve. So it should have its compression back. It is serial number 841. Tell me some info if any of you can like about the engine and fenders.. Thanks

congrats on the super early O! awesome find. to my knowledge they never came with a k141. I would just find a k161 to put in it.

Very early 3 digit wow. Great score. Does it still have early collared spindles, early seat with no drain, etc?

I'm pretty sure on this.... Hopefully Lew can back this up.... A 141 is an early 161. I don't know if they ever built them at the same time.

I do know this for sure:
There was a bore change during the life of the 7hp motor. They went to a larger bore. Everything else stayed the same. The old motor can be bored out to the new bore size with no problems. And it's a lot different, so no matter how bad the block is it should clean up. The pistons/rings and cylinder parts aren't available for the 141 anymore anyway, so a rebore is all you can do.

Fenders look homemade/modified. Is it an electric start?

Congrats on the very.... VERY early "O"!!

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.
