1961 was the first year International Harvester had the Cub Cadet. This tractor was made in November of 1961.
I just got it done. I added as many options as I could find. This tractor includes a really nice 38" timed mowing deck (including highly sought after deck chute guard), head lights, a Grote tail light, and a rear lift with Brinley Spring Assist and sleeve hitch adapter. The tires are very hard to find NOS originals as well. This tractor was never "cut" for a creeper gear, so I'm not adding one. Other possible missing options are a rear PTO and ultra rare hydraulic lift. The front weight bracket and weights are reproductions. A tractor buddy makes them in Wisconsin, and the weights are poured from a foundry in Illinois.
I have 3 attachment for the rear that will be completed restored here shortly: a #1 IH yard dump cart, a Mott Flail mower, and a Brinley Dump Cart.
