Hi All,
My first post, just wanting to say Hello and ask for some help. I joined this site because I just picked up a 79 vintage 1200. It's in pretty good overall shape and I could some help getting it ready to cut the 2+ acres of "lawn" the wife says needs mowing from time too time. I have torn the machine down for some repairs, mods and paint, but the steering wheel refuses to come off, Wheel pullers, blaster soak, B.F.H. beating, did not work, what am I missing? All the other nuts, screws, bolts and what-nots on the tractor all came off with ease even the foot plate-mounting screws came out with out a blaster or WD40 soak. I'm only the third owner. The second owner, who passed way 4 years ago and had it most of its life, (30 years or so), according to his son who I bought it from, keep it inside. Its been unused in the last 4 years and store inside its whole life. It has been fairly well cared for over the years. The wheel's got me stumped, if it wasn't plastic I take a torch to it, in fact I just may do that yet!!! Thanks for any help and letting my vent after letting a old steering wheel get the best of me tonight. Bob |

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.
