Cub Cadet Collection 1961-1969

[@roostercogburn6932]

I enjoyed your video, I own a 68 125 with rare hydraulic lift, I have a q-36 snowblower attached for clearing snow, I rebuilt the engine a few years ago, it runs strong

[@tractorhead04]

I appreciate it. A hydro with a hydraulic lift is a nice combo for sure.

[@brucemcgee2281]

Great video. I ran a Cub 108 for 23 years. Bought it new in 1971.

[@tractorhead04]

Oh Cool. I will have to get a first series wide frame again at some point. Always partial to those with the styling similar to the 66 series tractors.

[@jimmytate7587]

those who call these a mower or lawn tractor are not really informed about their true capabilities. i have seen them with tillers, bush hogs, flail mowers, front end loaders, front lift forks and a backhoe. they are very much tractors that can do a credible job of mowing while being able to tackle most other farm related tasks on a small scale....and American made

[@danieljacobson7729]

I love these older cub cadets I recently got a 1970 Cub Cadet 73 it’s not in perfect condition. I got it for the annual lawn mower races in town and was wondering how fast they top out in 3rd gear.

[@tractorhead04]

3rd gear on those is a little over 6 miles an hour.

[@danieljacobson7729]

Thanks

[@chippymcmunk672]

Very nice collection

[@tractorhead04]

I appreciate it, thank you.

[@Br0adster4]

I'm picking up a 67' 102 3peed +R today. Its got dually rear tires and a nice stack. Nice patina, original seat and snow plow.

[@tractorhead04]

Sounds like a good setup, good luck with it.

[@lincolnmaniac]

i like the narrow frames. i have a 100, two 71's, a 72, a 123 and 125 and 127 parts tractors.

[@tractorhead04]

Oh cool.

[@aarongore9274]

I'm just getting started with these mowers, I'm just 2 months in. I acquired a 129 from my brother who didn't want to spend any more money on it. I'm going to rebuild the motor first. The deck pulleys are all rusted out, I got them ordered. I have started sanding down the hood. I got all the paint to do the restoration. I have a 149 and 2 1000's and a 127 that I will start on next. I think it will require less work.

[@tractorhead04]

Awesome, good luck with everything.

[@baldeagle242]

Love these old Cubs! You have a new sub.

[@tractorhead04]

Hey I appreciate it, Not sure what Ill be getting into next videos wise, but I am hoping some tractor shows are held this summer and I can get a few of them out.

[@baldeagle242]

@@tractorhead04 I'll be standing by. 😉

[@BreakStuffClub]

I've got a '65 100 that I still use for mowing love the old thing. Still lust for a nice original model though.

[@tractorhead04]

Very nice!

[@wilhelm_iron2359]

Very nice! I have a 1962 original, but am having a hard time getting it running again

[@tractorhead04]

Well good luck, the Originals are nice to have for sure.

[@wilhelm_iron2359]

@@tractorhead04 Thank you! Had to replace the ignition coil, but now the carb is being super finnicky

[@F8lastcallcharger345]

I am finishing up my 1972 Sear Surbuban SS 15 and I really want a Cub next. I have a 2022 XT3 dealer model but it is MTD junk

[@tractorhead04]

Well Stanley/Black & Decker now owns all of MTD as of 2021. But I do agree, they arent the old machines.

[@tomsalsman5735]

Nice Collection I love them Im starting a collection myself I have gotten a 1964 an two 1970 one of them have the handle to raise an lower the deck an the other have hydro lever

[@tractorhead04]

Awesome, they are great tractors to collect, and also still use some.

[@trucks_n_tractors_6335]

I’m getting my first IH cub it’s a 100 I’m getting it for free along with a snowblower and a mower deck for it I’ll have to look up the serial number sometime soon

[@jimmytate7587]

i own a 61 original that runs great and does what it was designed to do. the 1 thing i wish it had is a larger engine. the kohler 7.5 hp could use a little help on the power lift.

[@lincolnmaniac]

Just bought a sept 69 model 107 for 260 bucks, going to use it in place of my 123 that has brake issues and smokes bad.

[@tractorhead04]

Oh cool. Ive never owned a 107 yet.

[@lincolnmaniac]

@@tractorhead04 I like this generation, Dad got a 127 when i was about 12, it came with a snow blade and a snowthrower and a 48" deck. I made a lot of money with that tractor!

[@bubbawatson1852]

Got a 77,, 1450. International harvester. Might be interested in selling, got all paper work. Runs great, ordered a muffler box, while I'm taking it down, to re paint, completely. Ain't got room for it now.

[@bubbawatson1852]

Less than a mile from where it was built, in louisville

[@thestuffz]

tractor envy!

[@tractorhead04]

Lol sorry bud.

[@88musicrox88]

HI LUCY

[@tractorhead04]

Yea, she was barking at the neighbors lol.

[@CC-xs1hh]

Can someone tell me how to read the cereal to determine the year, and where any of these made in 50s? Thanks

[@tractorhead04]

They started production in 1961. The Serial # up to 1965 is stamped into the right hand side of the transmission. After that it was a tag on the rear axle. As far as reading it, up until like 1974 ish there would just be the actual serial number on the plate and there are multiple sites that have the numbers. The later tractors have a lot of type codes in the number, but usuall the letter character "U" which would seperate the type codes from the serial number.

[@patdexter9188]

Nice collection, where's the model 70?

[@tractorhead04]

Ive never had the chance to own a model 70 yet, maybe one day.

[@alfredpriestley841]

THANK YOU BROTHER THEY ARE NOT EVEN MADE THAT WELL SINCE ABOUT THE YEAR OF NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE THEY WAS DEFINITELY JUNK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED MY FAMILY HAD FARMS HERE SOUTH OF THE ALAMO CITY OF SAN ANTONIO TEXAS AND THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VERY GOOD VIDEO AND THANKS FOR THE COMPLEMENT BROTHER HAVE A GOOD ONE

[@JohnJohn-xb1sn]

I'm looking for an older style lawn tractor that I can still mow with dependably. In your opinion what would be the best year and style model number. Especially for replacement parts. I hate all the new junk especially when it's cheaper to buy the whole thing new instead of fixing it when it breaks. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@tractorhead04]

Are you talking Cub Cadet specifically or?

[@hasanfoyejul5500]

ধন্যবাদ... thanks
