The first Cub Cadet mowers were released in 1961, and 2011 will be the 50th anniversary. Cub Cadet did a 40th anniversary edition in 2001, and I wonder if they'll do one in 2011!

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

While on the subject of 50th anniversary tractors, I have a '53 Ford Jubilee and that model was introduced as part of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company...have not given much though to that tractor as when I got my JD I quit rebuilding the Ford.
