Default 108 new addition

Well i bought a 108, when i looked at it i thought it was pretty beat down. After getting her in the shop I discovered it was in really good condition, so I decided to keep it. Not sure what we are going to do with it right now.
Thinking of putting my rebuilt 14hp in it.
Also got a great power washer in the deal.

That's a sweet 108 Keith. I've often thought about making the tractor they never built, either a 148 or a 168. Not sure why they didn't but they should have. Yours looks very good and original paint? Looks just like one of mine, thinking it has the old good year ags?

Those little Honda pws are decent and new are about what you paid for the tractor.

PS how great is it that you got a pw and a cub. It's the first thing most of us do when we get one, clean off the 40 years of grime!

I think those metal shavings are abby normal. You need to see what the condition of the gears under the shifter cover look like.

You have to find your tractors a little closer though.

That 108 is in great condition, other than the steel shavings. I think someone ground the gears and that is a result......perhaps she needs clutch work or has had some clutch work after the problem persisted a while. Nonetheless, its a good looking cub and a gear drive 14 hp would be a real powerhouse!! With a 14 hp engine, I am sure a lot of pullers would like to score it from you Nice find Keith!

Ok , probably a dumb question, but I have a new wiring harness for a 147, would it work or be close to the 108 harness?

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.
