Cub Cadet Original Prototype ?
Hello
I'm Eric and I'm from a little town called New Paris in Bedford county Pennsylvania. I've been a member here for around 7 years and I injoy reading every ones posts but I don't post much myself. I found this CCO? in an auction site and it looks way way to well put together to be a home made contraption. It appears to have a Muncie or Saginaw transmission bolted in it and a Magneto ignition Wisconsin engine with gear reduction? The narrowed rear end and Torque tube looks very similar to the one in dads old AMC Rambler. Front axle is different and it has what looks like trailer fenders on it. The thing that gets me is that the rear section of the Frame does not look modified and it has a serial number tag on it. It's way to far away from me to go see it in person. I thought someone here would be interested in it. It's way down in Troy, Texas 76579 https://www.proxibid.com/aspr/Cub-Ca...p?lid=42841667 Thanks guys,gals. Eric |

Was thought out pretty well and alot of work put into it if it is home made.
Gear reduction on the engine and it's using the 1st/2nd gear leaver. must have another leaver on the reverse selector. Maybe it was used as a Tug at a small airport or something? I've seen some strange looking airport tugs before. |

I would agree with Jon. The only thing I can see that is Cub Cadet is, the Dash Tower, Hood, front half of the Frame, and the Grill.
It looks like a fun project to restore.

Also appears to be a hand clutch as was used in the self powered, pull combines as well as balers back in the day before live power. as light as it is, I doubt it pulled anything like a plane, even a small one on a grassy strip. The engine does look like a Wisconsin. Somebody took time to build it with thought/craftsmanship not a cobbled glob of welded cow chit like we so often see. |

That’s pretty cool thing there. I like the hand clutch.

Very well thought out regardless of home-built or not. It would be a fun conversation piece to restore and take to a show.

That is a really neat job. As the doc mentioned it would be a great resto project. Thanks for sharing it.

Interesting to see that serial tag on the driver's LHS by the footrest...….Why would that be put on the machine that was Frankenstein'd up, when it wasn't originally there. The pulley out the front was set up to work on something. It would be neat to see what attachments were used on that machine.

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.
