Default New to OCC with my first cub cadet, from RI

Hello everyone, My name is Brad and I'm addicted to old Cub Cadets! I'm a small engine mechanic for going on 18 years, and I am a 34 year old single dad raising my awesome 5 year old son since day one. I got my first Cub 1650 this past November. It is not yet drivable, but i take any chance I get to work on it. When I got it the steering column was missing and the dash was torn apart. I don't know the history on it, but I looks like it sat for a few years. It now has a steering column and is up and running again. But for some reason it will not drive. I haven't gone any further with it yet because I've never had the privilege to work on many cubs and not familiar with these transmissions yet. I have wanted an old Cub Cadet since I was little boy and never had the money or a chance to get one. So when I finally got one. I was so excited I sat on it most of the day and if it wasn't so cold I probably would have slept on the seat. That day a fire was lit under my butt and it is still burning strong. Because now I own 4 cub cadets, and counting. I love each and every second im on them driving them around. And my boy loves them too. We drive them around the yard and my neighborhood and I'm always getting thumbs up. I've been through a lot over the past few years and I lost my mom to cancer this past June, so on top of the love i have for them, driving these and working on them is therapeutic to me and helps with my depression. The second cub I bought in December and it is a 123. I'm the second owner and I have all documents along with a NOS deck housing. It sat in a barn for 8 years before I rescued it. The day I got it, I tuned it up. Did the fuel system and was driving it that day. The third cub is a 102 and i bought it on January 3rd. I do not have the deck for it. But it came with a plow and tire chains. I've used it twice and it's a beast! I tuned that one up and rebuilt the carburetor before using it. And I had a friend make me a brand new shave plate at his machine shop for it. The new plate is 3/8 thick by 3"width and added some weight to the plow blade. Works perfect! The 4th cub I just got last Sunday. It sat in a garage for 3 years and I'm the second owner of that one as well. It's a 1450. Ithe came with a box of extra nos belts,blades, oil filters and oil from cub cadet. It also came with every document including all manuals, parts break down manuals and even the original receipt from may 2 1978 with the hand writing of the time it was delivered to the gentlemans house. I helped dig it out of the garage. And 30 minutes after it was brought to my house I was driving it. I have a possible 5th coming soon. And that one is a 123 as well. They're adding up fast and At some point I'm going to have to stop buying them. But not now lol.. I have to much fun with them and I feel like a kid again. Eventually after I save some money I would like to find a front loader attachment and a snowblower attachment as well. I've read some posts on this site. And I am amazed with the knowledge the members have. I've seen a lot of beautiful cub cadet pictures on this site posted by members as well. Im looking forward to getting to know fellow Cub Cadet fanatics. And I am sure I will learn a lot from many of you.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am trying to figure out how to post pictures of my Cub Cadets. This is the only forum I am a member of and I'm not to good with computers please bear with me. I am excited to show you guys as I know you'll appreciate them. I also talked to the gentleman who has the 123 this morning and we're working out a deal. Hopefully I can get it by Sunday. I am thinking that this one will end up being restored for my little guy. He has a riding mower that i built for him when he was 3 without the deck on it and he has been driving it since. And he also loves helping me fix things. He is an awesome boy and I don't know what I'd do without him. I do have two othere kids (16 y/o girl, and 14 y/o boy Jr.) with my ex wife that I see on the weekend's and we all have a blast with these. It is snowing today and I've been plowing with my 102 this morning. It's just an awesome tractor! As soon as I figure out the pictures. I will post them. Thanks again guys!

Just came in from plowing, we got about 8" of heavy wet snow. 1200 ran right through it! Temperature's dropping quick.

Have fun.

Thank you twoton for the help! It took a few tries but I think I finally got it with the picture uploads! If it all goes through. The line up picture is my 102,123,1450 and 1650. The two sitting next to each other the driveway are my 102 plow and my 123. The plow cub was used yesterday and it was my second time being able to pee with it. I wired up strobes as well. The thing is a beast! The picture of the 1450 is the night I got it. It was covered in dust so I had to give it a quick clean. And at that point I had driven it already. And the picture of the 123 missing a head light is the 123 that I bought today. It came with the plow and deck. It doesn't start right now and hasnow no spark. The guy put new condensor and coil in it, but I noticed he wired then backwards "yippie" lol.. all riders have the decks, and the 1450 and 1650 I do have the side engine panels. I will list more pictures in the near future.

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.
