The Collector's Dream-Just got an 800!
I finally found the tractor I've been looking for to complete the collection in my eyes. I just traded another tractor for the 800 here this evening. It needs some work, but the guy who owns it is a super nice guy and was super honest about it. We were both looking to give one another's tractors a good home, so it's a done deal! Im super excited! Pics wont happen for a while, but trust me, I'll get them!
It is mostly complete, but it is missing the three crucial things...small starter, air cleaner for sure, possibly the muffler box. I don't care, I've always wanted one and I can wait for the stuff to show up. It needs an overhaul, which I can do. It has sideshields and a deck. It is pretty straight and ready for a restoration!

Lew,
Like yours, I'm afraid this one will most likely sit for a little while. It might be one I could get running and see how it sounds. The owner says it needs overhauled but I may stick the engine in just to see what it might need. I'm fully aware that it is missing very hard to come by things. Its also one of those things where you never thought you would find one till you least expect it. Maybe I can get the pics from the owner to show it off!

Here are some pics off the ad. It has a notch where someone cut a place for the bigger starter. I might be able to take a junk frame and cut a patch peice out and weld back in there. Overall it is not too bad of shape.

Congrats on the 800 find. When I was looking for one, it took me about six months to finally find one and was excited to get it home. I picked it up from MattG here on the forum. I've since added a creeper and rear PTO and unfortunately, it too sits more than I'd want. Guess I should get her out and stretch her legs.
 Looks like a great basis for an 800 restore. They did hack the frame up. All a fella had to do was trim the rolled over lip to get the bigger starter to fit.  That looks exactly like the one on CL this past summer. Did ya get it down by Mt. Pleasant?

Josh,
You would be correct, it is the one from Mt. Pleasant. I saw it this summer and I thought it sold and I was kicking myself. But, it happened to re appear yesterday and I didn't waste my time getting to it. I'm very excited about it. I say this very lightly, but I may have just obtained my last Cub!  (we all know how that goes though)

Congrats on your "new" 800. Dreams do come true
Question though. What makes an 800 unique? Is it a rare tractor, hard to find, low production numbers?

The Cub Cadet 800 is the lowest production tractor ever made. 2345 total units were built. It is kind of like the 169 where the 800 has a specific starter, muffler box, and air cleaner I believe. (correct me if I am wrong).

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.
