1963 Original
A few months ago I was able to purchase my first complete running Original for $600 off Craigslist. I was extremely lucky to be the 3rd owner of this. The first owner bought it with the lights, fenders, #1 cart, mower deck, and blade. The owners manual with documentation came with it (no price sheet). The second owner bought it in 2002 from the original owner's family, storing it inside and didn't use it. When I bought it, it needed some minor adjustments with the governor and throttle cable. It runs great and cuts grass fantastic.
When using the tractor I've noticed there is not much difference in ground speed between 1st and 2nd gear. Is this normal? There is quite a difference between 2nd and 3rd. Having never used an original before any suggestions would be welcome. It seems clutch adjustment and replacement if needed is rather difficult from reading some of the posts. Sorry for the sideways pictures. I can't get them to post the correct way,

Great deal. Looks good. Clutch adjustment or replacement isn't bad at all. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction

All of the Originals have that speed difference in between the low and high gears. I usually take off in 2nd. You got a really great deal on your Cub. It looks like a great one to do a Face Lift on.   I was able to fix a couple of your pics.

Ronnie, I'm pretty sure I see a subframe under the plow and the blade looks like a regular 42" blade making it a trip blade. The non-trip plows bolted only to the front end and had a flatter funny looking blade.

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.
