Exclamation Newbie in WV Eastern Panhandle

Hey, guys (and gals?),

Just checking in to see what's going on. I'm looking at a CC 1110 but I don't know where to get info on who, what, where and when. This one has no engine so I need to find out what engine fits. Is it kosher to put a bigger engine in one than it came with? No doubt the purists will faint dead away, but I want a working machine with enough moxie to move both mountains and molehills. Advice on which model(s) would be best for power upgrade would be appreciated. Anyway, glad to be here. Y'all take care.

Barney Five

Barney,
Welcome to the site. The 1100 doesn't have the mystique that the other IH Cubs have. It was made in the mid to late 70s and was design as an entry level tractor to complete with the Sears, etc. It had a 11 hp horizontal Briggs engine and a 4 speed Peerless transmission that had a drive shaft from the engine to a right angle gear box that drove a belt to the transmission pulley. It had no side panels like the rest of the Cubs had at that time. It can handle some ground engaging equipment, but isn't as heavy duty as the other IH Cubs. Most IH Cub purists frown upon the 1100 since it does have a Briggs and the Peerless transmission. Here's some pictures for you:

I have to agree with T-Mo.
Please... I mean no offense to anyone who owns one but if you are just looking and haven't bought it yet keep looking :biggrin2.gif:
especially if you are wanting to move mountains. The mole hills it will handle.

And hey before i forget
Glad you joined us

Thumbs up Glad I asked!

No wonder they took the engine out of it! Thanks for the warning.

Another question: I see one of those red ones occasionally on eBay and I like the looks of them, but typically they don't tell a lot about them. Do any of the red ones have hydro? The only CC I ever had any experience with was an older 12 hp with hydro (129?). Based on that, I am of the opinion that hydro is better than stick shift, but being a newbie I don't know if that is based on fact or not. Can you give me an educated opinion on that? Thanks.

The red ones that have a hydro are the 1282, 682, 782 and 982.

Hey Barney Five,
Yes some of the red ones are hydro's also.
Are they better than gear drive ? That is one of the great debates of all time.
It comes down to personal preference. I myself love the hydro's. Specifically the left hand operated ones like my 149 and 169. Other folks love their gear drives and wouldn't take a hydro if you gave it to them :biggrin2.gif: Some have both. They are all fun to work with

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.
