Default I picked up an Original last night.

I went and picked up an Original. I'm new to the Originals. It seems like its in decent shape for a 1962. Everything seems like its original and unmolested from what I can tell. Again I am new to these. It runs and drives nice. The engine does smoke a tiny bit but runs smooth and has good power. I was told it has been sitting in a garage for years. The only real issue I see is the fuel line from the sediment bowl to the carburator leaks. It's a hard line with fittings on the ends that use a piece of rubber tube inside to seal. Does anyone know where I can get the replacement seals and what size they are? Also the throttle lever doesn't want to stay at full throttle, it creeps back to idol. I have to look to see how I can tighten it up. I will be cleaning it up and checking things out this morning. I will also change the oil today. What type of oil and how much is needed for the rear axle? Pictures will be posted shortly. Thanks.

The owners manual calls for Hy-Tran or 30W engine oil. For what it's worth I run 30W in my O and my 71.

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.
