I suspect the engine was built for a puller but the project was never finished. It was on a Cub O with clutch issues that I picked up awhile back, the hood and grill were missing, the frame was starting to crack where it bolts to the transaxle. I sold the O to a Cub fan in Saskatchewan but kept the motor.

The Bolens wasnt stock when I got it back in ‘88, the engine has now lost compression so Im gonna drop this chrome K on it, should be a cute little hot rod I can take to the local shows😉

It also has a 70s Sears snowblower that my uncle modified to fit onto it so I put those tires on, he also had a homebuilt cab and rear fenders but it was kinda ugly.

I got a complete rear lift for your garden tractor if interested, or if you know who is. I like your Bolens Ride-A-Matic!

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.
