Yeah, I saw that too. But he is telling me something weird about the stamp on the side of the trans. I was wondering if it has been changed. Like maybe the frame broke and was replaced with a different housing from a later tractor. It's probably nothing, and I'm just "wishful thinking". I'm looking through my book, and they only made 25 anyway. I'm sure that it's just a regular "O", but I want to see the serial stamp. I think he's just reading it wrong. He is telling me that it is stamped "24 OF 50".

I wonder if hes looking at the part number or something. I just got off the phone with him and he is suppost to be getting me picture of it in the morning asked him if the frame has been swapped and he dosnt seem to think so . Said his grandpa bought it new sold it to his dad for a doller and then he ended up with it. I brought up production dates and he agreed with me but . Is still very set on it being a 58 . We will see what the pictures bring hopefully I get some pics of the paperwork as well

That's how he was with me too, I told him no way it's a 58 and he just wouldn't accept that. IH didn't even start the project until Dec of 1959. So, we all know it isn't a '58. Part numbers wouldn't have the word "of" in them. It would have been a 5 or 6 digit number then an "R" or a "C" followed by another number. There is something missing from the guys story. Either, he is remembering it wrong, or I don't know what. I don't think he's blowing smoke. I just think he really has no idea. He tried to tell me his dad rebuilt the transmission and put all new synchro's in it. I told him it was not a synchronized trans. He started to argue that, but I cut him off and told him I was sure it wasn't a synchro trans. He then said he just didn't know. So, well see. |

Maybe someone had 50 originals and enumerated them and he happens to have #24 or maybe they raced them and whoever owned it was a Jeff Gordon fan. Yeah, that's the ticket.....That's why it is #24.
**I like the second explanation best, but it seems like the colors of the cub would be different. Cub Cadet 123

I kinda thinks its just a scam, no where in researching did I see anything involving 50 specific models... Most commonly I found that #501 thru #510 were protos, then #511 thru #525 to work out any bugs, then the first pre production run #526 thru #589, then #590 begins in 1961.

There were 10 hand built prototypes. Serial tagged #401-411 that were pre-production. There are still a few of them. |

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.
