I acquired this little Cub Cadet Original over the weekend. Just a toy to ride around at tractor shows!

Kohler engine? I think most of the old CCs had Kohlers. It's very nice looking and built like a tank. I'd bet the original front tires weren't like the ones on it now.

Hey- Tony's still around! Been meaning to send you pics- didn't think you'd be into antique garden tractors that much. Yes, the older CC's all have Kohlers- this one is a 7 hp, and appears to be original. The front tires are wrong- I think they originally came with a round shouldered turf tire, but I'm not going to be able to find those. Most people run turf tires front and rear. I've been looking for an 'Original' for several years now, so I'm pretty excited!

Actually, it had a padded seat, but it was red and white, and in rough shape. They have nice yellow and white ones available- I'll probably get one of those.

Here's my 1966 JD 110H. She's a little dirty because she still works around the house. It has the fire breathing 8 hp K-181 Kohler motor.
Honestly, I like yours better. Your engine is oriented the "right" way, and your transaxle is a chassis stress member just like a big tractor. I assume you have the 7 hp K-161 Kohler?
Do you know what year it is?

I like your JD- looks good in it's working clothes! Mine was made in May of '62, and has the original K161 7hp. Actually, when CC went to the Model 70 in '64, they went to a full length frame. The old style were prone to crack right where it bolts on. I have a Model 70 as well, which I'm slowly restoring and customizing. The only changes I'm making are bolt-on, so it can always be returned to stock condition, although I started with a pretty rough tractor, so it's not really very collectible. Other than the gear ratios, the transaxle on the Cadet is the same as IH used on the Farmall Cub, which is why they last forever, and are so popular on the pulling circuit.

Dad bought a new Model 100 in the summer of '65. That was one tough little tractor. Had a lot of implements, 42" mower, plow, disc and cultivator. The dealer delivered it on a 4x8 tiltbed International trailer. I still have the trailer, wish I had the Cub.
