I just picked up an Original yesterday. I was told it's a '62, but I'm not good at deciphering the numbers yet. The number is 34195.
It does need a resto, but it's all there. No parts are missing. It's just what I was looking for-something I can tinker with. The pan seat isn't cracked, it runs good, doesn't smoke and it goes through all the gears just fine. I plan on painting it, but I'm in no hurry. I figure I'll take it apart little by little and fix it up. As I'm not familiar with these tractors, I'll need a few pointers on some things. Here's my first questions: The clutch pedal is a bit stiff. Is this normal? Or does it need adjusted? The gears ingage fine, just the pedals stiff...hard to push down. It needs new throttle and choke cables. I'd like to find the original style that it came with. Where can these be had? Are there new ones made of the same style, or am I limited to used? I'll post a couple pics. Let me know what you guys think. ![]() ![]()

Looks great, O's have become one of my favorite models. What's up with the cables? Knobs missing or stiff? They can be easily unstuck with some patience and PB. Good score

Congratulations on your new Original.
As much as I like my higher HP tractors, I really love my Originals, They are just so darn much fun to drive. I suspect you will grow to love yours as well.

I've seen some Cubs with a "T" style handle on the throttle is why I asked. I did get it working though. It does bind up where the small clamp is near the exhaust port. Still messing with that one. I took it for a couple laps around the yard and you have to help the clutch pedal up in order to take off. If you don't move it up with your foot, the pedal comes up very slow.
Keep in mind I've never split a tractor, so I don't know about the clutch and if something is sticking inside or if it's dirty from all the years of use. That's as far as I got today, as I had other things to do. The more I mess with it, the more I'll learn about it. Thank you all for the compliments.

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.
