Default I think i am going to make a purchase
Well I have been searching for my first tractor and I came upon a cub cadet 100 today. It fired right up and there was no smoke at all. It seemed to shift good. This is my first tractor so I am not sure how exactly they are supposed to shift but is seemed pretty good. The tractor has rear fenders and a mower deck. It has some sludge on the engine and the rear end is that normal? What else should I check for to make sure it is good? Thanks guys I will keep you up to date with my progress.

thanks

Sounds nice. The fenders are a plus. It might be worth the price on just what you said. And I'm not asking either. It has a deck. Is it attached? if so does it engage and disengage? Does the front axle turn with the steering wheel without a pause? I'm not looking for answers to these questions. But if you are at the tractor these are some to keep in mind.

I think as many do that the 100 is a beautiful tractor. And they seem to do whatever you ask them to do. If you get it I don't think you'll regret it. If you can spin a wrench you won't ever regret it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. - Peace -

paulk68,
Sounds like a good tractor. The 100 is just cool looking. And like RPalmer and ACecil said they will do about anything you want to do.

As far as the sludge goes. Is it just oil and dirt that has accumulated over the years? or does it look like fresh dripping oil of some kind? If you could get a picture and post it someone would probly be able to help you determin wether its somthing to worry about or not. Just my 2 pennys

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.
