Default An Original for me?

No pics yet, but talking to my cousin the other day, he said "I have an old garden tractor you might want." He says it's a 1961 Cub Cadet. I'm going to take my trailer and check it out!

Pics...check out the lift and the original air cleaner. The four digit number shows it to have been made in February of 1961. It has electric start.

I think most do; pull start is actually "rarer"

How do we see the full size image instead of the thumbnails on an iPhone?

I think I like the electric start even if it makes it "more common".

Pull starts need no electrical stuff. Less to worry about.

A friend of a friend has one and I really hope it's a pull start. Claimed to be a '62, 2nd owner.

It turned out to be an electric start. I will be bringing it home next week. The first task will be trying to remove sprayed on "touch ups" that were poorly done getting overspray on a lot of parts that shouldn't have paint on them. I would love to preserve it for a while before eventually possibly restoring it.

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.
