Pete's Cub Cadet Page

Last Revised 12/12/2006

Most of my Collection

This is my first shot at putting together a CubCadet Webpage. I never meant to collect garden tractors, but after the second one came my way, they started following me home for a while. We have six of them now and that's probably enough until the next "too-good-to-pass-up" deal comes along. Sometimes it's like looking at a puppy with a sad face when you see a machine sitting out in back of someone's house.

Our Cubs are all working machines. It takes about 7 hours to mow the lawn, so we usually split the task between the two of us. Two 12 horse hydros do the mowing, with a 10 horse for backup. A 72 is used for pulling the cart and the lawn rake around. A 104 (I think) hydro has a tiller behind it. A 70 is on permanent loan to one son. I do everything but engine rebuilding since we have a Kohler rebuilder 5 miles away. Only one tractor is old enough to smoke and it will get a new set of lungs this winter.

-Cub Cadets are Noisy- wear earplugs and even muffs, too- save your hearing

I am only interested in the Cub Cadets from the Model 70 to the 127.

-Cheaper sources for parts (Not a big deal, but here are a few ideas)
Front wheel bearings come from Northern Hydraulics
Tie rod ends from flea market
Ignition switches from Surplus Center
Starter solenoids from Surplus Center
If you have any other proven cost-saving ideas let me know and I'll post them here.


Here are links to a few things that are Cub-Related, one way or the other:
