Original Assembly Begins...
My son and I started assembling our Original today. We've been working on collecting, sandblasting, repairing, rebuilding, and painting parts now for about two months. Pretty exciting to see it going back together. Our plan is for the tractor to be worked, but felt we wanted to do a once over on it first (even though the scratches are already adding up!). It's nice to know what you have and I want it to be safe and reliable. Some day maybe it will be retired to trailer queen duties, but for now there is snow to plow, a long driveway to grade, and lots of work in the bush to be done skidding logs and hauling firewood. We've acquired fenders for it (which will be painted white), plus a brinley-hardy hitch - still looking for the top lifting assembly though. We are rebuilding a 14hp Vtwin engine from a later model Cub and have all the tins painted yellow. Should be a neat little combo and I have a 7hp Kohler to put back into it someday. Just hope the clutch can handle the extra power. We've completely rebuilt it and added a 'pulling' spring with double the pressure. 23 x 8.50's on the rear and tri-ribs up front. We've got some lovely custom made 70lb+ wheel weights all ready to go on as well. Stay tuned...

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.
