Saturday Night, and OCC
Hey folks! I'm out in the shop putting back together my 1250's Kohler K301, and about to finish up with the parts 1450. Pretty good evening! Well, lo-and behold the long awaited model 86 showed up just a short while ago.....delivered! The kid turns out to be a great friend, and I assured him that once him and his girlfriend settle in, that he should really get back into the IH Cub Cadets for mowing their yard once they get their property and house.
Anyways, he was glad to see this model 86 go to a good home. I assured him that it would, and explained that I don't drill holes, part out, make any funny modifications to my garden tractors. I told him they all stay factory, but I will improve them where possible. Now, having this 86, it sure is a cream puff! Bad engine and all. We're certain the connecting rod broke. Besides that, the tractor should be gone through and made sure all WP monogram hardware is in place, and the basic checks, cleaning, and lubrication. The seat is in so-so condition. This makes 3 pick up's in a month's time! I'm very excited about this 86. Going to tinker around with it, then probably put it up for the winter along with my awesome 1211! I'm now up to a 1250, two 1450's, a model 72, my 1211, and now this model 86! Yes sir, finally have me an 86!

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.
