|  New here & new-to-me 73 
			
			Unless it isn't really a 73... Hope to get a couple more pictures without all my other crap surrounding it. Nice little guy, want to swap the deck for a 48, until then it's mostly going to be pulling carts etc. Looking forward to info and advice! |

|    Sweet 73! I personally think the 48" deck will be to large for the 7hp but it's your cub. |

			That's a pretty clean 73! The fenders are not original to that tractor; they look similar to fenders from a 125 or a 104, etc...might be why one would question whether it's a 73. IMO a 48 inch deck might be a load for the 7hp engine, BUT, I've never tried it    |

			Great information already - yeah it was the fenders that had me questioning, though just now I grabbed the serial # and it appears to be correct. Interesting on the larger deck - I saw that a 48" was available, but I could see how it might be too much of a load, too. Might end up pulling a dual finishing mower setup with it - I've got a little over 3 acres to mow - 38 isn't going to do it quick enough. |

			Welcome to OCC!  You definitely have a 73 with the wrong fenders.

			The round fenders are correct but the fenders do look good on the ol'e girl.

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.
