Default My first NF - a 72
Picked up this model 72 this afternoon. Looks complete. Not sure if it runs yet, need to put a battery in it and see if it cranks/starts. Gears shift properly, brakes work, engine turns over by hand. Steering gear is pretty loose.

Nice looking machine, seems about right for a 40 YO cub. Steering loose is common.

Yes, Cubcadet, it's out of control at this point. I've about run out of room in my storage building. Need to do some cleaning out.

Great find on the 72 .Did you get a mower deck with it?
You can never have enough of these cool little tractors so put the car outside!
Hope you get it running soon.

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.
