I'm cooking up a deal with a forum member on one of these with a manual transmission, through my want ad, and was wondering if any of you have some good pics of this model. I wouldn't mind seeing a restored / original one. And any opinions on this model? I only plan to use it for light mowing, and a little snow pushing with blade a few times per year.
Any thoughts / opinions / pics appreciated. Josh P |

Guitar Guy, I have a 108 with a 48" deck. Does a good job mowing, though sometimes gearing is either too fast or too slow. Tough tractor. Don't have any pics, still in hibernation.

I have an 86 which is the same generation, just 8 hp instead of 10. I just put some pictures in this thread:
http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=9232 I think the 10 hp is a larger engine so it will look a little bigger under there most likely. They seem to cut pretty good as I recall having mowed a couple years with a 1200. The gear drive is dead reliable and stout. Not bad to mow with but if it was my primary mowing machine I would look at the front axle upgrade to decrease the turning radius (I think they call this the "super steer" upgrade). All the cubs have a wide turning radius compared to newer machines. Second gear is ideal fro this. |

Guitar guy, here's some pics of my 108. She has a 126 rear end, but everything else is a 108. I'm in the middle of replacing the clutch, it'd be a good idea for you to ask about the clutch on the 108 you're looking at. If it hasn't been replaced it will probably need some work.

Here is a pic of our 128. It is the same thing except it has a 12 HP Kohler and different color decals.

Thanks much for the info and pics, folks. That's a nice pic with the willow tree in the background. I think it would be a nice model for me. I'll update if I get it.

Its a solid tractor. I mow a 3/4 acre lot and it does a nice job. I thought 10hp might not be enough, but its up to the task.

Here is a 108 W/K-321 (14hp) I had last year. Haban went with the sale and wish I still had it now. Good manual stick tractor that almost performed like a big tractor when mowing hay!

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.
