New PA Member - new to me old tractor
Hello Only Cub Cadets! My name is Alan and I'm a Cub Cadet Fan. Thanks in great part to some of the excellent info I've previewed on these forums, I am now the proud owner of two (mostly) working model 149 Cub Cadets. When the local dealership wanted to sell me a 16 horse garden tractor for $3500 +/-. a running 1973 model 149 with a good deck delivered to my home for $550 total was too good to pass up. My first 149 has been mowing "meadow grass" at full deck height and plowing the drive for us for 5+ years. My Father-in-law plowed snow with it about 30 years ago. Now the question is, at what point do I take one of these working machines and start restoration to make a "new old tractor"?

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.
