There were a limited amount of 2072's (less than 100) with the Onan engine. Then once the supply of those ran out, then they switched to the Kohler Magnum 20.

Christmas came early! I received the 50 Years of Cub Cadet book today. I read the first two (2) chapters. Taking a break.

The Kohler being the preferred engine?

I own a JD 420 with P220G Onan. So far so good.

How difficult to find a 2072 or the Diesel versions 1572/1772? An 1872 would be okay too.

Some absolutely love the Onan. It has a sound all it's own. The bad part is the mega high cost and scarcity of Onan parts. I'm a Kohler man, so I would prefer a M20.

Other than the aforementioned Onan 2072, none of the Super Cubs are extremely rare. The next rarest would be the 1989 1772. All are desirable.

I think there was an option for power steering assist on the 982's IIRC. It is super rare and pretty primitive but I can't find any pics. Maybe Lew has an NOS one in his stash.

Finished reading the 50 Years of Cub Cadet this afternoon. Interesting to say the least. I will say models got confusing once MTD/CCC started making the tractors. Based on the information, I want a Super Garden Tractor with power steering and either a Kohler gasser or Kub Diesel. Prefer a Diesel. Now to watch classifieds.

Thanks everyone for your patience and comments. It is appreciated by this old fart new to Cub Cadets.

Is a 2284 basically the same as a 984, ,2072 and 2084? Just styling? Thanks!

Cool

The 2284 is one of the final Super Cubs made. It used the Kohler Command V twin. It has power steering, 5 gallon rear mounted tank, tilt wheel, and easily adjusted seat. They are great except for the fragile plastic front end.

Thanks! Front end - you mean the hood/grille?

The entire nose on those are plastic. The hood, side panels, and nose piece are all plastic, and fragile.

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.
