Cub Cadet was started by a tractor company by the name of International Harvestor back in 1960 at the Shed in Gloria Drive, Kentucky. It was also the same location that the Cub Lo-Boy was produced. They made a small tractor that, in the start, they named Cub"ette". Then somewhere along the way they changed it to Cub Cadet. This first "riding tractor" was called the Original. they made this tractor as they're competition with wheel horse and all the rest back at that time. Cub Cadet is the first and only "riding tractor" with a direct drive from the engine to the rear end with a solid driveshaft. no belts or pullys. This made for a strong and slip free drive. In my opinion, Cub Cadets are the strongest, longest lasting tractor that i have ever owned. you just have to find a Cub from before 1981, that's before MTD purchased Cub Cadet from International Harvestor. After 1981, MTD redesigned a few things to make the tractor "better" and more "user friendly" and "quieter", but basicly they just ruined the name in my opinion. Anyway, i know I've probubly gave you more information that you asked for, but, i just love these little tractors, but, only the ones proudly displaying the International Harvestor label.

So..... 1960-1981 International Harvestor

1981-Present MTD

For more information, you should visit this website (www.ihregistry.com) They have a forum to answer any of your questions, promptly and very politely, and they also have owners manuals, parts manuals, and service manuals for just about every model made.

What company makes cub cadet lawn tractors?

IH Cub Cadet was a premium line of small tractors, established in 1960 as part of International Harvester. The IH Cub Cadet was an entirely new line of heavy-duty small tractors using components from the previous Cub series tractors. In 1981, IH sold the Cub Cadet division to the MTD corporation, which took over production and use of the Cub Cadet brand name (without the IH symbol), to present day, the MTD models are NOT built anywhere close to the standards of the older IH Cub Cadets, which is really sad and probably a true injustice to the public in that they are "assumed" to be.
