Default 800 found, replacement parts?
I found an 800 today stuck in a pile of scrap steel destined for places I'd rather not mention. I've got it scheduled to go back Saturday morning and talk buisness. However it's in very rough shape piled amongst the rubble, which leads me to the question of how much can I replace with substitute parts and still call it an 800? I'm really interested in pulling this one back from the dead. It'll be my shack project for next winter if all goes well Saturday

Only thing that makes an 800 an 800 is the specific 8hp engine and some key pieces. The muffler, air filter housing, starter and of coarse the decals and serial tag. All else is just any other QL.

I believe the aluminum motor plate that the exhaust duct work bolts to is specific as well compared to the other quiet lines. Would like to see some pics. There are some of us that have brought back an 800 that might have been in worse shape

well I got it, well what's left of it. after talking with the previous owner I'm shocked at what happens to these poor machines. He said it ran great, but the mower deck got bad so they parked it in the edge of the weeds, then they had a guy come in with a dozer and forgot that it was in there . this is the result. Somehow the "important" parts are unscathed. I guess I'm on the look out for a rolling chassis!

Well..... not much left of it.

Air filter housing is right. Starter has been replaced. Duct work is there, but hopefully the aluminum base is still good.

FWIW, if it was me, I'd find a QL rolling chassis and put together an 800. Keep the serial tag off the frame and install it on the replacement frame. QL rolling chassis should be easy to find, but they aren't making any more serial tags!!

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.
