Intro to a random 1715
Good evening everyone. First post here and I wanted to introduce myself to you all. Eric from Maryland. Today I impulsively picked up an old Cub Cadet 1715 LT. I got the thing for $50 and thought that maybe I could use this to run attachments through the yard. I have a zero turn, Troy Built, and would rather use a tractor to pull the aerator, dethatcher, dump cart (for mulch and wood) and I am hoping that this thing can pull my 22 ton log splitter with a ball hitch???
The good.... It runs, shifts through all 5 gears and reverse, brake works, and it is in good shape cosmetically. The bad... Owner said the PTO wont engage the mower deck (not using it for mowing anyway) Electrical was messed with and the tractor starts right up with the key on and when you use a jump box on the neg battery wire and positive on the starter post. It stays running but will not start with the key. Anyway, I have a lot of investigating to do to get this to start with the key, get headlights working, dash lights and gauges working, etc. Updates to follow and your suggestions are welcome. I know that this is not a desirable tractor but it was cheap and could potentially do what I need. Not sure if it can push snow or pull the splitter but we will see. 17 HP Kohler magnum 691cc 5 speed Gear

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.
