Default I bought an IH260a TLB
Hey All,
This may be the dumbest thing I've done in a while. It all happened because I found a perfectly good cast iron frying pan on the sidewalks of NYC a few years back. Then after a long search, I found some rural acreage in Connecticut to go with the frying pan. Then I quickly found our '72 #129 to mow it and trailer stuff around.

But then I became fascinated with hydraulics after the 129, and after I tuned up a friend's forklift. So I though I would buy an old log splitter to satisfy this curiosity. But after narrowly missing out on the almost free purchase of a little Laymor TLB, I thought a TLB might be a great fit for the property and my curious brain. It turns out that small used TLBs, like Kubota's, Deere's and Terramites are very expensive machines. A larger machine- especially a neglected one- can be had pretty cheap. And so...

I'm not going to do much with it until the ground thaws, but here it is. I bet that some of you will see the potential that I do. And if this post needs to be moved, or if you think I need to start barking at another website, I am open to suggestions. By late summer, this machine will be white and yellow again, and most of the decals are still available. Cheers! -Christopher

It means what's in the middle, the front, and the back.

I get that, and I did too. But the backhoe on this machine DOES release with two large nuts, two pins and some hose reconnecting. So then it would just be a "Loader", or maybe just a tractor to some people.

Nice machine. Good luck tuning it up. Take care of her mechanically before you bother with the paint.

Fix all the hyd leaks, that will include a lot of cyl seals and replace all suspect hoses.
Then it will run a long long time with no problems.
It is a tool with battle scars, enjoy it that way.
Fix it all purdy, and you will cringe when you use it for anything,---- not good!

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.
