Default Original S/N #1 For Sale?

Guys, check this out.

This guy from Howell, MI claims he has the first Cub ever built. Supposedly, he just learned this from a repair shop that told him it was a valuable collectors item, and he's looking to see what he can get for it (no price listed.)

I don't know if this is for real or not. And I didn't post it in the Craigslist or Ebay deals section because it's more about the significance of #1 being found (if true.)

There are no pics, so we don't know. The first O had the SN 590. He could have an O from 61 to 63. I wonder what the SN of the tractor is?

Pics and serial # are a must with this claim.

I highly doubt it is the first one. I think the first one is in a mueseum somewhere.

501 was the first serial number, so the seller doesn't know what he's talking about. IIRC, 501-589 were test units distributed around the country, and 501 went to Florida. 590 is the first production unit.

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.
