A kind code of 034 is used for IH made Rear engine Riding Mowers.

A kind code of 205 is used for IH made Cub Cadets(Garden Tractors)

A-The U means it is made in the USA.

That's pretty easy to come up with.

If it has problems more so than not, then it was made on a Mon, Wed. or Fri.
If always has problems then the night shift of those days.

If it runs great and never needs much, it is a Tue, or Thur made cub from Day shift.

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.
