Default Help with Serial Number

I just bought this Cub Cadet it says 1200 on the decal and we read the serial number to the best of our ability 2050047U471493. Can anyone tell me the year it was made? I failed to mention it has a hydraulic lift and hydrostatic trans. Thanks I know someone can help me, Mike.

I am going to say 1973, but am not sure about it. I know some others will know for certain.

Would like to see a pic of it.. Sounds like you may have a 149 or a 169 wide frame.

Mike M: The number you posted is broken down as follows:

205 = IH Kind code for a Garden Tractor (Cub Cadet).
0047 = IH factory code for a Model 149
U = manufactured in a US plant (Louisville Ky, in this case).
471493 = actual one-up serial number produced in May 1973 as Roland said.

PS: Welcome to the Forum.

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.
