Traded up?
Well, did some trading over the weekend.
Took these to the local mower "junk yard" (or whatever you want to call it)..... tm1.jpg And came home with this 71..... 71-1.jpg71-2.jpg The old man had used it for his "lot tractor" for the last 10 years or so. Honestly, for as rusty as it is, it's really not in bad shape! Not gonna lie, I got it for the 71 I'm restoring for Granddad. His didn't have lights and fenders, so now it will. Just for fun may see if I can get it running. Guy said it ran fine, he just parked it and started driving another tractor around. He has several that run that he drives around. I think he just likes to "switch it up" LOL. Honestly, I had to talk him into parting with it. Had to give him some cash to boot to get him to let it go!  Now, if you were looking carefully, you see what I first noticed about it..... The seat. Anyone ever seen one of these seats before? I'm assuming it's either a VERY well modified seat from something else/ PO mod. Or it was sold by a company just for a Cub Cadet. It bolts right to the original seat mount, and is made similar to ones I've seen on some M's, Olivers, and such. Any ideas? 71-3.jpg Oh, and it still has the cigarette lighter too! 71-6.jpg

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.
