Talking Just a little scrubbin'

Hello all!

I am super excited to be an old school Cub owner. I just got myself a 102. Pulled it out of a junk pile. Got it running and moving under its own power. Gave it a bath and now the real work begins. Gotta get the deck freed up and re-attached and the front PTO is in freewheel and will not engage. Got a new voltage regulator on the way.

I welcome any tips, suggestions, or criticisms

Thanks,

Ed Lane

Thumbs up

looks good ! cleaned up pretty nice ! likely the PTO is stuck/rusted fast in the dis-engaged position and will need disassembled and cleaned up and possibly some parts ! breakdown of the various PTO clutches in the tech section .

Welcome to OCC Ed. Lots of people on here can help you with any questions you may have. That little 102 cleaned up nicely and before you know it you will have 2,3,4 or maybe 5 more Cub Cadets along with it.

That is awesome. I am impressed you actually started at the beginning.
As in cleaning it. Lots of folks just get them running and then wonder
why they can't see where the leaks are coming from. Nicely done.
I am excited for you to have fun working on it.

Ken

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.
