    The biggest Cub Cadet garden tractor?

    Thanks @Doug Rusk and @bjames Way back then I was working traveling all over the country and just trying to make a living and feed the family. I didn't pay any attention to it then. Now I find myself being fascinated with keeping a few extra garden tractors around to use when the urge strikes...

    The biggest Cub Cadet garden tractor?

    Not that it is directly related to this thread but I will ask anyway. When did IH get out of garden tractors? I really would have thought Cub Cadet would have been almost a core business. Certainly not a big division but a substantial one and with long time name recognition.

    The biggest Cub Cadet garden tractor?

    Well that didn't take long. I had not thought about using that site. I had heard/read the "cyclops" name bantered about before. Now I know what they meant. Not the most attractive headlight system I have ever seen but the rest of it looks good. Also didn't know they were part of MTD at that...

    The biggest Cub Cadet garden tractor?

    Kinda sorta thinking about a new project. What was the biggest garden tractor made by CC? Something comparable to a 420/430 JD. Were they gas or diesel? I have had a CC/Yanmar for the last decade or so. Great tractor but looking for something comparable to my 420 JD to rebuild/use around the farm.

    Any John Deere owners???

    Yes it was crazy the amount of things I used to do with the JDs and an old LGT18H Ford. None were suited for the abuse I gave them but amazingly, they all and I I survived to work another day. I've no issue with my current Cub that I bought new in 2009 but am not sure it will have the same...

    Any John Deere owners???

    Been a member here for a few years so I might as well add my $0.02. As I have seen here so far, it does not appear to be uncommon that a person might have a few different colors of tractors. I have owned a couple JD 420s for a long time. When I was a much younger man, I saw those come out and...

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    Welcome to the forum. It is great looking tractor you have. Keep us posted during the refurb of it. I would suspect there are many here who started a life long fascination with these little tractors. I too used my dad's Bolens to mow some yards back then. I spent many hours on that tractor. Glad...

    Cub Cadet 3240

    Who built this tractor? I grew up on IH tractors and recall the days in the 60s when the small town dealers usually had a new Cub Cadet in the shop to sell. I had read IH sold off some parts of the company and that was one of them. Who builds the Cubs of today?

    Cub Cadet 3240

    Just curious, if I were to pursue getting this tractor is there a place to determine what the production numbers were for this model? In no way do I think it will be a valuable tractor but more just a point of interest in getting a one year model.

    New to the forum

    Yes they are. Cub made so many different model and types, there is surely one that fits every person. I have a penchant for the garden tractors from the 60s through the 80s. Truly fascinating machines to me. Please feel free to jump in with questions or comments. I am terrible at taking pics but...

    Cub Cadet 3240

    Nice looking tractor. Like everyone, Over my years I have owned a few limited year production vehicles a time or two. I sold my last one (Moto Guzzi) a few years ago. I happened across this tractor while visiting my sister and they have had trouble with it. Most of the problems have been due to...
