If the previous owner only knew...
I can't take credit for the thought, but I did read it in a recent thread here about how if previous owners knew how to fix/take care of these cubs, we might not have had the chance to own our beloved cubbies.
So, here's the deal. Post your story of those things that the previous owner couldn't figure out and what you needed to do to get your cub up and running again. Here's my story(s). My first Original (center) ran. But the S/G was basically a welder. Turned out that the PO had the wires crossed. ALso, EVERY fastener was loose! EVERY ONE! Think about it.  (of course, I didn't have a problem with over-tightened bolts)  My second Original (right) didn't run and owner just wanted it gone. Good thing he didn't have a points file!

Bought this one a few years ago, PO thought the engine was toast. Turned out it had a bad PTO bearing and it was locked up.

Picked up a 108 cheap because the spring that actuates the neutral safety switch had broken off, and the guy started going through the ignition circuits and finally gave up.

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.
