New Owner
So a friend of mine bought an 800 new in 75. It was a 74 left over that they made him a great deal on so he bought it. Well, he has some health concerns and now pays for his lawn service so he passed her on to me. When I got her he said she only ran about ten minutes and would quit and the starter needed shimmed. So I went and picked her up and off we went to her new home. I still have the parts for the origional starter but when I took it to the rebuild shop they said it couldn't be repaired because something was broken inside. Anyhow, I ordered up a new starter with the bracket to replace the replacement he had that would not bolt up. Ten minute run time and she quit just like he said. I put in some Lucas gas treatment, bought a new plug, tightened down a loose plug cap and put some sea foam in the oil and second tank of gas. Happy to say she is running like a top again, doesn't quit at all and wow how quiet......I'll get some pics up soon.

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.
