Newbie to Cub Cadet, Soon to own 1971 129
Hi All,
This weekend I am picking up a 1971 IH Cub Cadet that is/was my grandfather's. He has moved into a care facility recently so I am the lucky one in the family to take ownership of his pride and joy. He bought it new and it has been stored indoors all its life. I remember he would keep it in the basement before he had a shed. As far as I can tell it is all original and in great shape. It comes with wheel weights, chains, 42" mower, snowthrower, blade and rear plow. There may be something else there as well, didn't see all of the shed. I am currently a Wheel Horse owner but know the build quality of these cubs and am looking forward to owning one. I am presently doing frame off restoration a Wheel Horse 310-8 that can be found at RedSquare.com. If interested look for the thread named "310-8 restoration/rebuild". Hope I didn't upset anyone by proclaiming that.  I know there are die-hards for both manufacturers. I prefer to look at it as both are tough, well built machines and I will soon be able to enjoy both!  Looking forward to learning more about Cubs so I can keep this in the best condition possible while still working it hard. That's what they're built for right?!

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.
