Picked up 1973 149 from Texas
So I posted first back a month or so ago, and last night picked up the 149. This is the one I grew up on driving with my grandad. It is gonna need some work, and TLC, but that is why I now have it. I was also able to get the Operator's manual and in that is a lot of note taking in my grandads handwriting. This tractor was delivered new 3/15/1973 to the original owner, but my grandad bought it from him 2/19/1976 in Arlington, TX.(I was born in '77), and it has been in the family since then.
The Serial numbers are: Chassis: 2050047U442349, Engine: 4243580 model 321A spec 601660. If any of these numbers are significant please let me know. Additional implements I picked up are a model 1A tiller ID# 1A U1111, 48-inch deck ID# 483 U1111, a Brinly plow (I have to measure to see what size) and a box blade. Now the fun / money spending begins. Here are some pics of it in it's new home, the 3rd bay of my garage. Jrob

That tractor was built between August/Sept of 72 and delivered in March. That's neat you have the original paperwork and got it with so much documentation as well as a family item. Great score!

Great opportunity to relive great memories!!! Nothing like a cub with family history. Glad that you acquired it and of all of your cubs over the years, that one will be your treasured one---at least that is the way it is with my dad's cub that I acquired after his passing. Again, nice goin'.

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.
