Default Hi guys, New here
Hey, this is a cool forum. Just got my 1st Cub, it's a 1973 129. I got it to replace my Yard Machine that I was blowing snow with, but now getting some ideas now that I'm finding out how tough they are.

Probably in the "Home Made" section.

Welcome

Looks good. Yes, you will be amazed at how much work you can actually get done with a Cub Cadet.

I started with a 125 that I purchased off a coworker. ( He mechanically restored it for his Dad but his Dad went with a lawn service and gave it back ). I purchased it with a 42" mower deck, a Trac Vac system, a 42" front blade and a QA-42 snow thrower. I also have purchased a rototiller and a one bottom plow.

On that 125 I've added spring assist for lifting, a sleeve hitch adapter/ rear lift and headlights.

I got a 122 with plenty of options and traded that ( with a forum member here ) for another 125 with hydraulic lift.

It's a slippery slope having "yellow fever" but I wouldn't own anything else.

Jeff

The '61 would be an Original ( nice score on that one ) and you'll have to let us know on the '75

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.
