Default Decided to adopt another Original Today.
I went to buy an old farm truck and came home with a truck and a Cub Original. I went to pick up some pallets and look at a v10 Dodge 3/4ton farm truck a few weeks ago and he just so happened to have a 4 digit (9226) Original sitting in his shed. The guys was selling stuff off after his dad passed and he told me he did not even know this thing existed til recently. He didnt know its history, but it is complete, and has a deck. No other options. Not sure what I am going to do with it, but for the price I "Had" to buy it.

Yeah there is some paint chipping and there is yellow underneath. I don't think any originals were red from the factory.

I didn't know it was a 4 digit, It was in a dark shed and for the price i didn't care if it was. But it sure was a nice surprise.

I may restore it, but I kind of want to use a few of the parts off this one to make my optioned 4 digit nicer, and then modify this one. The engine spins over freely and it doesn't look like it has too hard of a life, so it wouldn't be a very hard restore. Decisions Decisions

What a find!! If I read the chart correctly your find was made in June of 61. I have seen people born then not look as good. Looks like a good restore project to me.

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.
