Default New member looking for an old cub
I have been looking around for an old cub cadet for pushing snow and mowing, I have found a few and need help choosing the best model for my needs. I think I want hydrostatic and I prefer the narrow frame styling. I have found a 105 for $375 and a 109 for $350. They both have blades and mower decks, but the 105' s deck looks rough. Any advice?

The 105 is a narrow frame and the 109 is a wide. They are both equal on their capabilities in my opionion but I've always liked the 105 styling a bit more. And the narrow frame I like more. I would go with the 105 if it were me

Either cub would be a nice one to have. I'm more a wide frame guy (not wide framed guy,). Wide frames are easier to work on if you need to do any drive shaft maintenance. Pop off the tunnel cover and you're good to go. Narrow frames are a little trickier to get to those pins........

Second the maintenance comment, wide frames get the nod for ease of working on the drive train, hydro/trunion connections and swapping out the hydro release valves.

Having said that, narrow frames are still great lookin' rigs.

I'd pick the 105 cuz I like the narrow frame and the front end design vs the wide frame look of the 109. Harder to work on yes.

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.
