I wonder if I'm the only one who found this fact eye-opening....
I tried starting my new cubby lt50, but discovered the key was on (I blame the grandkids... Always blame the lil kids, right?) Battery was of course, totally dead. I jumpered from a spare and it started right up, but I was shocked to see hour meter at 52 hours! I checked my phone cam archives and saw last use time was 2.7 hrs. WTF???? So, here's what I learned about the run-time clocks.... they don't necessarily track engine run time... the clock runs any time the key is on. Surprise to me. Maybe not a big deal, maybe all the world's clocks are the same, but I have to wonder how a guy can be assured that the clock really represents tru engine run time... I also wonder if anyone else already knew this??? st. ![]() thanks for all the input, folks. Ya, do have grandkids, even great-grandkid, ifn ya want to count my semi-scottish daughter and her sub-clan... n e how, my concern was because my 'other' cubby had a blown engine and somehow it seemed significant that the engine showed only 020 hours runtime. Now, it seems, I have nothing to wave about the air in my complaints since the hours dont mean diddly! o well. Merry Christmas, y'all! st |

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.
