Default What is my 1872? MTD or CCC
Ok, Silly question probably but....I have a 1872 that was made by MTD from what I understand using IH parts, is that true? What does CCC stand for?
Thanks

Cub Cadet Corporation. 1872's were built in 1988 &1989 and the true IH parts were gone by then but, they are great tractors.

The only IH parts in an 1872 would be a bolt here and there. It is mostly IH-designed, however.

Found this from TractorData.com. Cool information! Looks like it also has all the cub cadet models.

http://www.tractordata.com/lawn-trac...-tractors.html

"In the early 1960s, International Harvester entered the small tractor market with the Cub Cadet. The IH Cub Cadets were heavy-duty garden tractors many components borrowed from the larger Cub tractor, and built at the same factory in Louisville. In 1981, International's Lawn Products Group was sold to MTD in 1981 as the subsidiary Cub Cadet Corporation (CCC) and production moved to a new factory in Brownsville, Tennessee. While initially independent, Cub Cadets began to gain more common components with the other MTD brands and are now a fully integrated part of the MTD line. The Brownsville factory was closed in 2009."

Where are the mowers made now? To me they stopped being Cubs about 1998 or so.

This is a very old question that never got answered. So I bumped it. I dont know the answer. To me though is cheaper and cheaper but maybe still good. Then last shaft drive. Then a great tractor for 5-10 years and junk get a new one. Works for a business because how can you build them to last 50 plus years and expect more business. But great for us as a lot of those old 50 years GT are still around.

When MTD Closed the Brownsville Plant production was moved to Ohio at Willard and Valley City Ohio
I know this is an old thread, but the CCC Corp. headquarters were always right next door to the MTD headquarters, i.e., on the same campus. For about the first 9 years of CCC production, MTD more or less left it alone other than transmission changes. But by 1990, you started to see the MTD Influence with the change in hydraulic system components. When MTD did go to cheaper hydraulic system components

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.
