The older Cub Cadets are pretty good but Wheel Horses are definitely better and easier to work on. Edited Wednesday at 02:52 PM by 702854boy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 792 #4 Posted Wednesday at 11:16 PM While we were a W/H dealer in the 80s-90s, we worked on everything and sold used tractors. Before that we sold Jacobsen's and those were good too, I often wonder why they didn't make it! We also sold everything Ariens. Used IH Cub Cadets were prized and very good tractors, one of the only things I think were poor about them was their steering, many of the ones we had, had very sloppy steering, was much better in that way!

oliver2-44 11,465 #5 Posted yesterday at 02:18 PM (edited) @C-85 Since you were around a lot of different tractors maybe you can share some light on a tractor in this video. Several places in the video of a tractor being assembled, then at 21:05 in the video they show a finished tractor that I think the side of the hood says "International CY or CF" never seen or heard or that one. To me it's wearing the white and Brown David Brown colors. has a rounded look a little like a copy of a Ford 8-9N hood. Tractor Data doesn't list it either. I wondered if it was a European model, but Mr Google doesn't find it either. Edited yesterday at 02:22 PM by oliver2-44 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
702854boy 729 #6 Posted 23 hours ago I'm wondering if a lot of the tractors shown in the video are Ai because a few of the tractors had backwards tires and they looked very odd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 792 #7 Posted 17 hours ago I'm not a CC expert. I saw some different tractors while watching this video too and I don't know what those were. All I know is the yellow and then the red ones (which I don't know why they decided to change, perhaps to be like the Farmall's or maybe they felt threatened by ). I had no idea that the union strike hurt IH so bad and led to the sell out. When I was selling W/H's, some of our sales training was about the red color of our tractors and how important RED was. This is because back then as we were little kids, reading story books that involved farming, the farmer was always on a red tractor. Now all that tradition seems to have gone away, and turned green!

953 nut 65,806 #8 Posted 15 hours ago With videos like this out there it confirms the Garbage IN = Gospel OUT theory. Newbies interested in learning about a particular make of garden tractor will leave knowing less than they started with. Why would anyone spend time and energy producing such cr@p. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,844 #9 Posted 5 hours ago This is the video I referenced on another so-called informative video. Right off the bat, the video claims that IH produced a tractor with hydrostatic transmission. Within a few seconds, the video disproved itself to me as being junk. As for when and why IH went from the yellow and off-white to red, was a decision they made to reestablished their L&G line as an extension of their IH tractors. By this time, the Farmall name had disappeared from their row crop tractors and International was the name on each and every hood of their ag line. The more interesting story is why IH chose yellow and off-white in 1961. I had that information, but I would have to see if I still have that. I wouldn't want to post another "junk" informational piece like the video. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 65,806 #11 Posted 2 hours ago It appears that there are three YouTube producers (probably all the same people) putting out junk like this. Forged Era and Gear 92 all have "Rise and Fall of" videos that are sooooooooooo bad. These two have done hack jobs on many brands and there appears to be another one called Floppojan starting to do likewise. https://www.youtube.com/@gear92yt https://www.youtube.com/@ForgedEra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
