Cub Cadet 100 pre-buy questions
hi all, my family had a cub cadet in the 1960's, think it was a 122, not sure though. I do remember the snowblower impeller getting stuck a lot!
Anyway I've been wanting an older one with round or no fenders and farm style narrow rear tires, (mini farm tractor look) but not underpowered. So it narrows down to a 100 The creeper gear is appealing as well. Some adds mention "low 2nd gear" which I dont know if they mean creeper gear or not. As far as price, on here, rusty resto-candidates seem to be talked about at $150ish but everyone seems to want wayyy more than that - $350 - $900 on CL and FB etc. Not sure why the difference. It's hard even to offer $150 when the asking prices is 350 so I dont bother. Anyway here's a few questions in case anyone can help: Are the Original, Model 70, and Model 100 the same tractor as far as weight and durability etc? Is something like a 122 the same as a 100 but with square fenders and bigger engine? Can a larger 12hp engine be installed easily into a 70, or 100? How common is the creeper gear unit to get used and is it pretty easy to install? (I have a lot of mechanic experience). How big is the mower deck on a original, 70 or 100 and are they fairly common to buy used? Where can these be found other than CL or FB listings? anything else I should look out for or look for any particular options? I know its lot of questions, thanks for any replies! Chris

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.
