Default Mars Sweepster on My Ohh

Got the Mars Sweepster up and running on my O. Needs some more refinements on it, but hey.....that's progress. Sure wish I had some brochures on it though.

Oh man that is awesome, I’ve been hunting a sweepster for years for any cub cadet wide or narrow, and you wish you had brochures? Wish I had one! Ha, but paperwork would be sweet. Looks especially cool on the original

Thanks fellas!! I'm excited that the little 3 hp Clinton engine is going. Probably not really had too many hours on it, though.

The reason I would like to have brochures on it is that it is the Mars broom that was manufactured for the O's that did not have the front PTO's on them, so it has to run under its own power. They weren't made for very long. It was missing the subframe to connect to the cub, so I used some snow thrower brackets to attach because I cannot find pictures of what the original subframe looked like. The guy I bought it off of has been collecting for around 20 years and he said he has never seen another one besides that one and the guy he bought it off of was the original owner who decided to sell it, but not the brochures that came with it.....go figure. It has welded brackets that leave it at a constant angle all of the time to the cub so it shoots debris out to the driver's RHS.

Well, I was thinking of sweeping crime off the streets, but I am not a superhero! So I will probably use it to remove leaves and eventually my driveway if I ever get my cobblestones set in the ground.

I've only seen a picture of one in a brochure once, but did not save the picture and forget where I saw it at. The Mars one (the one on the O in the picture) was only produced for a year or so, then Sweepster produced one that ran off of the PTO on the cub. I have a later Sweepster on my 129 and love the job it does! It can even cut grass and makes clearing leaves EZ work and fun!

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.
