Default First Cub Cadet! 147.

Hi everyone,
I think I might hold a dubious record for this forum!
What's the longest time between someone joining this forum, and then getting their first Cub Cadet?.. how about: twelve years! oh well..

I've been into vintage garden tractors and snowblowers for awhile now, and I've been mowing for 10 years with a 1964 Wheel Horse, but I've always wanted a Cub Cadet too..So I've been casually looking and researching Cub Cadets for years, and I already knew what range of models I would like.. but I finally made a dedicated effort to search this Spring..and this 147 popped up locally! I went out yesterday and bought it. Its complete and works! it's going to become my primary mower, and I might trick it out for snow duty too..(although I already have a small collection of vintage Ariens snowblowers for that..so I'm not sure.) we'll see.

Here she is! I'll probably have some questions for the group..
Thanks!

Thanks! No, I don't have the tiller, it's long gone, the guy I bought it from didn't have it either. He wasn't the original owner, but he had all the "original owner paperwork" which he gave to me! So I do know the original owner bought it new in July 1971, with the tractor, mower deck, snowblower and rototiller! He went all-in!

But somewhere over the past 50 years the snowblower and tiller parted ways with the tractor, but the tiller gearbox remains!

Thanks,
Scot

You're sort of like, how I was with Wheel Horse. Joined Red Square when the 1st came out and didn't buy a Wheel Horse for another 11 or 12 years

My 1st Cub Cadet purchase was an MTD/Cub, a Cub Cadet 2206 in 2002 as a Tractor for my wife when I retired from the Army and moved back to Illinois. But what was funny, even Before the 2206 was delivered to the House, I had been Given a Cub Cadet Original

Congrats on the 147

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.
