Thumbs up New member from Michigan
Not sure I know how to do this, but here goes. I am new to the Cub Cadet world, started out looking for an automatic drive as my replacement hip didn't work out as the brochure claimed it would. Have owned a 216 John for many years, and have to say very impressed with the 1864 I am going to pick up tomorrow.

Welcome from Central Kentucky. I'm sure that 1864 will serve you for years to come.

Default Y block talk
Well its good to hear from someone who knows what a Y block is.... mines a 272 that cleaned up at .040 over. small holley 4bbl on top, hooked an FMX behind it for ease of driving. Chassis is a Country Sedan wagon. Someday it might even be drivable.

Here’s my 239 in the 54 F100. It’s bored .120 over (used 272 pistons) Isky E4 cam, crank and rods from a 312. Measures 283” now.

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.
