The Cub International Cadets

[@2wayzplayz179]

Clicking on this I didn’t have any idea that I would get emotional. Put together a collage of pictures and a good country song behind it and I’ll be sure to find a way to tear up. Companies now sure ain’t like IH

Got a model 107 out in the shed and after watching this video I think I will bring it back to life again 👍👍🇺🇲

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Got my grandpa's international cub cadet 76 would like to restore it in his memory if I could find all the parts for it as alot of them are hard to find it's whole and running just needs a dash decal and the hood is kinda breaking a little at seams just wanna paint it up and a few other things in his memory cause he's gonna be gone almost six years this November.

I have these brochures. I worked at International Harvest at the Research and Development Center in Hinsdale, Illinois started as a technical writer in 1966. My father worked there also and had a 1964 model Cub. Huge place hundreds of acres right across the street from our house. The brochures need to be with someone who can appreciate them.

Just picked up a 1250 hydro today can wait to mow with the old boy

[@tdk1004]

oh man this describes my life, lol. My dad has an International Cub Cadet 70, my grandma has a 108 and a 122...oh these machines live forever...btw the 122 kicks ass!

[@tractor2nv]

Vintage ride back in time! Nicely done...A++++++

[@ad356]

got the 147 running again. i bought a qa42 blower already and am in the search of a good deck. these little tractors are tried and true. they have stood the test of time

[@billbrox8666]

I must admit I was really not aware of this little tractor. I am a Ferguson / Massey-Ferguson guy, and have several of them back in Norway. I can not bring any of them here to California because we have no room for them. But the Cub Cadet could probably be a nice thing to have in the backyard. What a wonderful little tractor. I showed some movies to my wife, and she commented, "baby tractor" and her eyes lit up. lol I see that Massey Ferguson have a lawn / garden tractor too, but it does not tickle me like the Cub Cadet.

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

I have 3 mowers, a Murray 12 from Wally World back in 1992, a 1972 Sears Custom 10xl (this things a hot rod), and my '71 narrow frame 147. These Cub Cadets were the best mowers ever made when they were owned by IH. I got it for a steal (450 bux) and I'm about to do a full resto using PPG Deltron. My buddy owns a paint and body shop so it will be shot by a pro like my Custom 10XL was. The Murray, yea I know its a Murray but they make a great beater. Friends don't let friends ride John Deere.

[@snowmangsx1100]

I have a cub 107 that runs perfectly and am alos currently building a mini bull dozer using a cub cadet rear end from a 70's model cub,,no heavier duty rear end was ever put in any lawnmower,,bset built mowers hands down for sure back in the 60's and 70's and possibly now,,,,thanks for the video

[@CodyJohnstonbaugh]

great video great music great tractors.... couldn't ask for much more!!!!

[@nofish37]

Bought my house on three acres about 6 years ago & found a '72 149 in pristine condition. It's identical to the 149 my grandfather mowed over 5 acres with for over 25 years. Both properties have alot of uneven ground and large ponds. I take good care of her and she never misses a beat. BEST thing? My neighbor bought a new MTD same year I bought my '72. He has less ground than I do and yeah, his shiny new MTD is DONE & he's shopping for a new machine... Priceless.

[@danbasta3677]

What I've said all along about the MTD junk. Gives the good Cub Cadet tractor name a bad reputation.

[@Everythingthatmoves]

I love old cub cadets im buying an old one soon with a 50 inch mower and a plow im so exited.

[@gittyupalice96]

How did that work out? I'm about to buy a 1960's 104 with a 48" deck and original plow set up

[@ad356]

now i am running a 1948 farmall cub and i love it. awesome little tractor. hardcore little machine. my stepfather has a 149 cub cadet. i had the 147 cub sold it, i really didnt need it and didnt have the time and money to sink into it. im really loving the cub with it's extra weight, power, hydraulic touch control, fuel efficiency and fuel tank size, liquid cooled engine that can be run hard for hours in the hottest weather without getting overheated, tall ground clearance that wont get stuck easily, and better parts availability due to the explosion of the aftermarket for cubs. either way you cant loose with an old school IH

[@stew3588]

I think you have done great job ! Saving the greatest tractors ever built, international for ever . Thank you stews stuff

[@ad356]

anything with an IH logo on it. i have a 1948 farmall cub, its amazing how much work it still does even at 70 years old still reliable and will still do everything that i ever throw at it. plowing 2 feet of snow..... no problem..... mowing the lawn from spring to fall with a 60" mower, no problem. i have owned it 3 years and i probably spent less then $200 in repairs besides normal fluids

[@Machi74005]

I grew up using a 149 Cub Cadet, 14hp Kohler, ag tires, wheel weights, blade, mower, cultivators. It was a tank.

[@rickmanning9561]

Just picked up a 127 at auction for $350 with a snowblade chains and 48" deck, It looks like a heap from the outside but under the hood and the drivetrain is all brand new pretty much, used it in these past 2 snow storms and it did great in mine and my neighbors driveways.

[@glenparks5175]

My dad had one these years ago they were awesome mowers

[@lawnmoweredneck101]

thanks for not forgetting the cub cadet i finally got my first one 3 month ago and i heard they can change ur life my 169 changed mine it is the best tractor i have ever had i was happy to give 120 for it and 70 to get the motor going all the hydrolics work on it thank god. now i am looking for a geared on o make in to a puller

[@80fordmustang6]

Love my original still looking to add another cub to my collection

[@pullingcubs]

I have pulled the Cubs for almost fourty years now. Still pulling them.....

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

Huge IH fan!! This is a cool video.

[@glindabeaven6805]

My dad owned one and there were 4 of us boys who drove it over the years and let me tell you that we ran it as hard as we could and it never broke down or had any problems with it we mowed a bunch of land with it when he decided to trade it for a new one he got more on the trade in than he gave for it new the new one was never as good at the one he bought in the 60s

[@smokierspy]

love the videos it makes u think of what i would have been like buying them new it makes me want to take better care of the 123 and i take really good care of it already

[@apismellifera1000]

I own a Cub Cadet 129 hydrostatic and a Cub Lo-Boy 154

I just got a 129 and I love it. Its a literal tank. it does everything. any advise on where to get parts

[@andrewboyle7768]

i love mine real steel

[@ad356]

IH put real pride into their american made products. what exists today is sad junk

[@danbasta3677]

andrew donohue agreed. And it IS sad.

[@zacharycoslic1274]

andrew donohue john deere lawn and garden tractors, wheel horses they were good too

[@mikecubes1642]

back when garden tractors were iron tractors not plastic toys like today wheel horse, JD and sears and allis chalmers all had tough tractors back then too

[@farmall51]

Well thanks I enjoy making them. I'll be bringing a Cub Cadet 382 hydro (my free ticket in ) to the red power show. I dont have a 784 did you mean the 382 ?

[@evangill8433]

hi farmall51 i am a big fan of your videos an IH tractors i have 3 IH tractors a 584 IH utility and 2 cub cadet tractors 124 and a 682 i am restoring the 124 and pulling it next year and taking it to to the red power roundup in ohio. can you make a walkaround video of you 784 ih tractor thanks farmall51

[@Alpatriod]

thinking of trading my 105 for a boat this makes me want to keep it :( Great video

DON'T DO IT!

[@gittyupalice96]

great job it was better than the one i did LOL 5 stars i wish i still had my 69 cadet model 72 i sold it to a freind for 200..00$ he turned it into a puller she was in bad shape but ran great i wont a cadet 100

[@markusniemeyer1488]

back then ih put effert and pride into there cubs but now there junk tipical mtd... i got a 1100 and it would last longer as is than a new cub :-(

[@ad356]

people call the new cub cadets cub's lol. do they even know what a real cub is? i will give you a clue. its a 4 cylinder C60 flathead 4 cylinder powered machine. it can handle a 60" deck despite only being under-rated at 12 hp. it was also produced before the cub cadet was thought of, my tractor is a 1948 and cub cadet name didnt exist until 1961. mtd is the worst disposable pieces of crap ever built. people call them cub's lol. just a little history lesson, the original cub cadet got its name cub cadet because IH came up with it by taking the farmall cub transmission and putting it into a small frame...... hence cub cadet. that transmission is bigger then the rest of the tractor on the early models lol. great machines and history indeed. shameful what it is now

[@ad356]

just bought me a 147 today, i paid 165 bucks. WHAT A STEAL. its kinda of a heap now but its goin' to be wonderful. the engine was rebuilt 5 years ago and the prevous owner screwed up the crankshaft. it has very very low hours after the rebuild. he didnt put a set screw in the crankshaft and messed up the keyway. he took it apart 5 years ago and never put it back together. mtd cub cadets are horrible but these things are awesome. how the mighty have fallen!!!

[@bradybarkela897]

I have a 102 check out the video I have of it

[@canadianromper]

there definitly not built like that anymore
