You could always put tubes in the originals too, if you wanted.

There's a LOT of repainted new shiny cubs , and they're very nice looking, but there's only ONE that looks like the one you have. I think it's great that you're keeping it that way, showing that it's earned it's patina!

You should be able to just break one bead off the rim, and stuff a new tube in without a big problem!

Hint: Put soapy water on it before you start doing this :-)

Here's how I break the bead


Remove valve core .

Place 2x12 piece of wood, or sometimes I use one of my drive on car ramps right on the edge of the bead near (but not ON the rim).

Drive car up the ramp till bead pops off the rim.

Done!

when the rim is flat on the ground, try and get the business end of whatever you're driving up on RIGHT on the seam where the tire meets the rim (two people helps this... you dont want to bend the rim).

I've done this a bunch of times and it's always worked...

Also, it helps when putting the tube in, if you let it sit in the sun and soften up some before wetting it with the soapy water and slide it into place.

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.
