The first Cub Cadet model made was the International Cub Cadet Tractor, better known as the Original. It was made from 1961 to 1963... The last "real" International Cub Cadet was built around 1981..
Then the name was sold to MTD... they make a much different mower than the IH Cubs ...
I still have my 1450 bought new in 1975, Many many hours on the little guy but it still is a great garden tractor...:smile:KennyV
