Default Deciphering ‘70s Cub Serial #s:
I was wondering if there was a webpage related to what all the digits on a IH Cub serial number plate mean?

The number on my 1450 is: 2050660U585430*

I was just wondering what they all meant.

Thanks,

-Calvin

The first set of numbers up to the letter "U" is the model ID and the "U" means made in the USA. The numbers following the "U" would be the serial number (production number). I have one with serial number 578371 and from the production chart (which I can't access on the computer, they must have removed it) mine was made Feb 1976. Yours should be right around that time also. Hope this helps. I'll keep looking for the production chart.

Do the serials all have a trailing 0 and an *? This is what threw me off. I saw the list of serials to production years - but mine is one number greater in length.

Thanks,

The IH Serial Numbers (past the "U") are three to six digits. IH started with 501 and the end in 1980 was <700,000

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.
