Hi there,
There are many opinions and stories a guy can give to someone about which Cub to buy and which Cub to avoid. In my personal opinion, it depends on what you want to do with it. Originals are the ones that everyone tends to stay away from for hard work because of their 2 peice frame that is notorious for cracking. But, a guy like me goes out and pulls trees and wagons with them and has had no problems! ![]() If you want a good mowing tractor, I recommend a 105 or a 1450, or some type of hydro. Ive mowed a ton of grass with a 105 and it has given me very little trouble. Also, a 1450 is a great mowing tractor. Good power, a little bigger and beefier frame, and a little wider deck also. Any older Cub is also a good show tractor. A 100 or a 70 look very well IMO repainted/restored. Also, I personally like the 1x6/1x7 series tractors as well. They look sharp all redone. If you cant decide, just collect them all. Thats what I did ![]() Hope this helps! ![]() |

I don't think anyone has made mention of the difference between GARDEN TRACTORS and LAWN TRACTORS. You want to stay with the GARDEN TRACTORS. There really is no comparison between the two for getting work other than lawn mowing done. Take a look at the other forums on this site to check model numbers.

Interesting question. What to stay away from? If you get any of the 60 or 70 Cubs it probably wont be the last one you buy. So go ahead and jump in! These guys are here to help. Find one and ask more questions they will tell you the good and not so good for each. And Pictures of potential tractors wold help get even more thumbs up!
Regards, Chris

Just pass up all the Quiet lines and send them my way!
![]() In all honesty all the IH built cubs are worth saving and putting to work and they will last forever! Styling and options are the biggest changes to these tractors, and the amount of horse power you want. Post some pics of your IH trucks and pics of cubs that have your interest and that will get you started in the right direction to the cub your looking for! ![]()

Thanks so far for all the advice. I started with one IH truck, and that didn't last long! I'm sure I'll end up with more than one cub... eventually. What I need to do to impress the other half is get one that actually works and does something around the yard before I start adding toys. LOVE the look of the early models, but I have to stay focused. I'm seeing quite a few 149's and 106/8's. Even a Spirit of '76. I'm guessing wide frame is the way to go for now. Just need to find the right one.

Thanks guys didn't even know IH made garands. Now I need to add that to my wish list. For my two cents on the topic I'd say any of them made between 1961 and 1981 would be fine.

My advice is to run back where you came from as fast as you can. Oh you are already a collector so you have been severely bitten. These old machines are very addictive so just jump in like the rest of us. These old machines are like Lays chips, you can't have just one".

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.
