That's a great sign! Nothing makes me madder then having a oil leak.

Good News!! I got the Cub running today.... after it ran a while it was starting to sound pretty good. I drained and flushed the fuel system (tank, fuel hose, carb., etc.), the best I could before attempting to start it.

The bad news as far as I know now, is: The brakes do not work, also the brake pedal is missing a spring or something as the brake pedal goes down but does not return to the "up" position.. There is one skuff wheel and the entire mounting assembly missing from the mower deck, all the safety guards, and a PTO drive belt are missing from the mower deck, one of the pulley's below the front grill (runs the PTO belt) is damaged and will have to be replaced, the battery is toast, all the fluids & filters, including the transmission will need to be changed, plus every grease fitting on this tractor looks dry. Mowing season here is done for the year, so this will be one of my many "Winter Projects"... When I get ready to start, I'll write a "Build thread", even though there hopefully won't be much "building" to do.

Where is a good place to buy parts for a Cub that won't break the bank... I need one of the pulleys that sits under grill (PTO belt to belly mower runs thru it), I will also need brake pads/shoes, and probably some/all of the hardware, the spring? that returns pedal to "up" position, transmission/rear diff(?) fluids, plus a caster wheel assembly for the belly mower. I figure the battery can be purchased through my local auto parts supplier.

I haven't touched the tractor since the day I got it running, so I won't know exactly what is going on with the brakes until I pull them apart for inspection.

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.
