Default “Heavy Duty” LT 2042 - what is it?

I saw an ad on CL for an immaculate “Heavy Duty LT 2042”. It physically looks like the 2000 series but it’s got “HEAVY DUTY” in front of the LT 2042 on the hood stickers and says “heavy duty series 2000” on the back stickers. It’s listed as having an 18HP Kohler engine as well.

I can’t find anything about the LT 2042, only a GT 2042. But the stickers clearly say LT in front of it. Is this some kind of weird hybrid between a LT and GT?

Been digging around some other forums and tractor sites, and apparently it’s just the same as the GT2544 with a 18HP engine instead of 20HP. It’s essentially a 2000 series GT with LT-sized wheels, hence the “heavy duty LT” marketing.

I guess they were just trying to get rid of the remaining 2000 series parts and decided to make this hybrid tractor? I’ve had suspicions that the only difference between the 2000 series LTs and GTs was the wheel sizes and engine HP - they all use the same frame and transmission from what I can tell…

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.
