First Cub Ever Made
It was so early they were still in the single digits. I like the wooden brake

Re: First Cub Ever Made
A kid near me had one of those. Don't remember what it was but I saw it in person and could have had it cheap enough. If it wasn't so rough and a little more like the one in your picture maybe. There's just something neat about little mowers like that... kinda like the cadet 60, not practical but fun to mess with.

Re: First Cub Ever Made
Montgomery ward was the first thing that came to my mind as I typed the first post. I never remember seeing any ID on the one I looked at though.

Re: First Cub Ever Made
Wow thats crazy ! Here the whole time im thinking this one for sale stole the colors from IH, maybe the other way around. 1959 ? Cubs were still a twinkle in IH's eye at that point right ?

Re: First Cub Ever Made
This one on CL is only $250 . Look how great someone kept or fix this one up. It almost looks right out of the pic from 1959. Dave

That's too funny Ray! Think about ALL, and I mean ALL, the money they could have saved by not having that hood and grill unit!

Well, there must be a reason the circus-like ride still looks new! He probably figured out, while he was enjoying his trip up and down the yard, the neighbor kid was out back with his girlfriend having pool time at the pool!
Cant beat a IH Cub Cadet, man!
Oh, I'm sure Ray can !

Re: First Cub Ever Made
Man u guys should b ashamed of yourselves! Turning this fine tractor into a big joke. First making fun of the tractor,then making fun of the guy on the tractor, then comparing the guy to Ray, then the poeple at walmart, then poking fun of vinny. Where is it going to end ! I think the "guy" is rather good looking.

Ray is one of us! That is a God fearing, IH Cub Cadet enthusiast!
As far as that Craftsman's craftsman,.... whoa
God Bless everyone, and have a good Thanksgiving! Has been a comical thread, thank you.

Re: First Cub Ever Made
dag1450, That is a interesting little beast! I have to wonder how much more hard was it to push mow, than to ride one of these? I guess we're better off riding something,

Re: First Cub Ever Made
I saw one of those "stick steer" mowers in the dumpster a few years back. Way far gone to try to hoist out for recue. You know the yuppie on the mower is just glad he's not having to use the old reel mower anymore and getting his Keds sneakers all grass stained. Have a great day! Lance
