Default The $17.00 72

I got this 72 at an auction 2 summers ago with a $7.00 70. Runs and drives well,that was 2 years ago.Pulled it out of storage and got it going,it is a little rough,but what do you expect for 17.00
I don't know what I am going to do with it.It is a pull start but it is missing the pull starter pulley.I have been looking hi and low for the correct pulley to go on the "coffin box".I have a correct Fairbanks Morse recoil,but the parts for the rest of it are so hard to come by.I may just part it or turn it into a battery ignition style system.Any suggestions besides selling it?

Lewis,
You alway have a knack for finding cubs and getting great deals. I sure wouldn't part it out. Keep your eyes peeled and a pulley may surface someday. Another option would be as follows: Seeing you paid 17 bucks for it a couple years ago, take into account the economy/inflation, I'd probably give ya 34 bucks and double your money. All kidding aside, you got a great deal along with the $7 cub!! Hope you are able to locate the missing parts.

After closer inspection of the pics, it looks like the po put a bracket on the front grill. They must of had a starter/gen that spun the wrong way and mounted it backwards to start it. That would be a perfect pic for one of the po mods!

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.
