That's what's great about our cubs. Bet ya won't find any Jane Does sitting in the woods that will run with a little tinkering. She's in great shape and the PO did a great job preserving it.

Here is a question; the deck intrigues me. I don't know that much about the decks for the originals, but I do know that you have the timed one (?) and that it is operated by the lever that is next to the pulley (that you moved in the video.) With the deck and belt installed, the center pulley spins when the engine is running. You push the lever down on the deck (w/ right foot?) and it engages the blades. How then do you stop the mower deck?

Thanks!

You pull up on the lever with the toe of your foot to disengage.
It's a primitive design relying on a slack belt to disengage. If the center pulley is spinning, so are the blades.

Like Bill said, lift the lever to shut off the blades. there is no clutch on the engine, just a pulley. so the long belt from the engine and pulley on the deck spins all the time.

Not sure on the "Primitive" no clutch to ever wear out, no seat switches, interlocks or relays to go bad. The O my Uncle had when I was a kid always worked. When was the last time you heard someone post about the mower not engaging on an O ?

When was the last time you heard of someone actually using one for a main mower?
They are primitive and dangerous. Every one I've seen would keep spinning. Even a slight temp or humidity change can keep them from disengaging.

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.
