Identification help

[William Shover]

Hi all. I’m new to the forum. I was gifted an older cub cadet, it was rebuilt years ago and I don’t think the tractor is a 102 like the graphics they put on. The serial number on the axle housing is 199355. Can anyone help? I need to get some general maintenance parts, but not exactly sure what I have

Got some pics William6,that will greatly help to ID it

Disregard the phone number. It’s for the guy I got it from

Could be a model 71: gear drive, no fenders, etc. TractorData.com Cub Cadet 71 tractor information

Looks to be in pretty good shape.

Many guys on this site are far more iH-Cub-knowledgeable than I am.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

It originally had rounded fenders. Swapped out before I got it

Is that a soft cab in the background? If so, you've got a real rarity.

A 71 with a 102 hood and re powered with a 10 or 12hp is what it is.

Axle tag serial # puts it at May of 67'

Thank you. Can you tell HP of engine by Serial #?

 

[lpalma]

You can tell by looking under the front of the tractor, flat oil pan will be a 10HP a deep one will be a 12hp

There should also be an ID plate on the side of the motor. If it says Kohler K241, it is a 10 hp. If it says K301, it is a 12 hp.

I have a couple other ones that are K241s. I wonder if it’s the same carburetor on Both series?

Hello and welcome. Enjoy the forum.

If it is a Carter carb, you can look up in the throat and there should be a number in there. That will tell you if it is the same carb.
