It’s funny that you posted that Steve as Zippy Todd was about ready to pull the trigger on one of those and we convinced him to get a real zero turn.
I don’t have any that I bought from new but I inherited my 1782 that my late grandfather bought new in 1992. He Bought all IH equipment since day 1 for the family business and even though the 1782 wasn’t he still kept it going with getting it from the old dealer who kept selling cubs. When I was up to NY last time, that dealer had turned green.

That's what makes this forum so damn good. With all the members who know a little about this and that, someone's "been there, done that."

Bought my 1863 new in 1993. Didn't want the power steering as just another place to leak. My Dad's Case backhoe seemed to leak everywhere. The 1863 had the 54" mower deck. The dealer told me not to use a bigger than 38" mower deck as the engine horsepower was lacking !!! I think the dealer had 38" decks he couldn't sell. Well the next winter I purchased a new 451 snow blower. Just in time for a 3 foot snow. The snow blower loaded the engine like the 54" mower never did. The snow blower also required arm strong steering. Then in ~ 2002 I purchased a used 1864 (power steering yea) with a 48" mower deck. I have used the 48" deck once as the 54" works perfectly although the blades only last about three years. The turned up trailing edge ears wear away. The 1863 sleeps in the air conditioned/heated basement as a spare if ever needed. Both tractors have been very reliable with the exception of the safety switches and wire connectors.

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.
