Default Don't even own a cub....yet!

Hi all.
I have wanted a cub for years. I had a JD 112 (k241) I sold, a Yanmar YM155d I sold, now I am looking for a Cub. I like the narrow frames the best. I am eying a 124,and a 70 but I keep getting the "look" from wife!

We'll see how this pans out...wish me luck!

Does anyone have any thoughts on ones to avoid or to look for?

Anyway...great site, keep 'em running, and one day I hope to join the club.

I have only had email contact with the 124 guy. Hey said the shifter is getting sloppy, and he used some washers in place of the missing "teaser spring"???

Any idea what he is talking about before I make the hour drive to go look at it, and is that spring available? Or should I run for the hills!

Thanks

Welcome!! What you describe on the 124 can be fairly easily fixed although a bit of work. I have never had the shifter problems but have changed a few teaser springs. That spring is part of the clutch assembly and requires some work to get to but is not near as hard as engine work. If the tractor is in working condition and the owner does not think that yellow paint is pure gold neither of the described problems would be a show stopper for me.

Welcome to OCC. Good luck on the Cub hunt. All Cubs are good ones but I think the wide frame Cubs are easier to work on. The shifter issue on the one Cub is an easy fix if you get it. Where in the great state of NY do you reside?

Columbia county.

I have been trying subliminal suggestion to wife. I insert "cub cadet" in every conversation. I think it is working! I asked her, out of the blue, what her favorite color is, and she said YELLOW! I am making progress! It is good to be me.......maybe!

You're doing it all wrong, bring home 3 tractors and when she complains sell one to make her happy

All Cubs (especially the older ones) are great but it depends on what you want to do with 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.
