Question Collecting all the number models

Just curious, anybody on here set out to collect one (at least) each of all the number series of Cub Cadets? Which ones would be the hardest to find
if I wanted to stop at say, 1979 production?
Just thinking.

Depends on how far in the weeds you want to go. Rear engine riders and lawn tractors?

800 and 169 were lowest production models. Spirit of 76 lawn tractors are pretty rare. The 95 electric is pretty rare too.

The run of the mill machines aren’t hard to come by though. Gear drives slightly more rare than hydros it seems. I’m guessing you could do it in a few years of serious looking.

Just a reference - 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.

If you accumulated all those tractors and quit in '79, you'd be missing out on the red ones, just saying.

Red ones came out in fall of 79, with the exception of the 1282 and 782d which were CCC creations.

Super cool place to visit.

He has almost all of them, including some super rare ones like the 111.

A lot of super clean nice tractors. Not quite heritage restorations for most of them, but really nice looking machines.

I've seen some nice collections. I bet there are a few folks on this forum that have extensive collections too. I would love to have a collection of 82 series. One can dream...

Too bad you missed the 2017 RPRU at Des Moines.
There was a full display of all the red models right in the main entrance.

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.
