Default Finding Serial Number(s)

I'm working on my 108 (that I've had for 35 years). I see a SN on the engine shroud and a number on the back of the transaxle. Is there another SN someplace?

The serial number on the engine shroud should be the serial number of the Kohler engine.

The serial number on the tag attached to the rear axle housing is the serial number of your tractor. It should read the number, and the International Harvester Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Somewhere on this forum, there should be an explanation of interpreting the tractor serial number. I am sure someone here will supply the link.

the chart is the last digits of the SN...in my case the number is 2050063U 546100 so it says it was built in March 1975 (based on the 546100). The 2050063 designates the factory I guess and the U says built in the USA. My 1250 SN plate is on the left side (carb side) rail just ahead of the seat.

You must have bought it soon after it rolled off the assembly line! Are you the 1st or 2nd owner?

OK, that chart is helpful. My 108 is 457403, so that puts it in Jan/Feb 1973. Roland, thanks for posting the S/N chart link. I knew it was a couple years old when I bought it in 1978 or 1979, but wasn't sure what year model it was.

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.
