125 Project

Finally got myself a Cub Cadet and I think I bought the worst example of one in TN. It supposedly "ran when parked" 8 years ago. I picked it up from a closed small engine shop covered in weeds for $100. Yeah,I probably overpaid,but around here I never see any for less than $250. I've had to clean and adjust the points, unstick, lap, and adjust the valves,replace the head gasket, change all fluids, replace the carburetor, and replace the battery. Then I unstuck all the hydrostatic linkage and found out that one of the relief valves is completely stuck open. So,it runs but doesn't currently drive as a result of the valve.

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.
