I'm trying to find out how many of these original units are left. I picked up #759486 back in April and currently have the engine out to be freshened up. What's interesting is the engine is dated 05/85 but the tractor was built 01/87. I was curious after seeing bolivier's post from 2018 about his Onan-powered 2072...I know of two other units that were parted out, but don't know how many surviving machines are still running around.

Look at the tag on this machine. Is this who you purchased it from?
https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...highlight=b48g Onan engines are awesome. I'll take a B48G over an M20 anyday. Most 2072's are Kohler powered but there are a few Onan powered ones here. There is a vid on Youtube with a Onan powered 2072 owner and he says that 80 something were built.....don't know if that's true or not.

The YouTube video you mention is mine. I had a discussion with a former CCC employee who worked at Brownsville when these tractors were built, and was told that they were built in a "crossover" period between the 17XX/19XX and the 18XX/20XX series, where a red wire could have been installed where a blue one was needed. So the Onan engine may not be the weirdest thing about this tractor... I know of two other units that have been parted out. One was local, about 20 minutes from me in PA...the other one, which is nothing more than just a frame at this point, is in Ohio.

When I rebuilt the Onan CCKA for my Case 646, I got all my parts from Robert Kummer, (boomers-influence@yahoo.com) 651-437-2826 including a rebuild kit for the Marvel Schebler carburetor.

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.
