If its a recent one beware of decal engineering.  The cubs they sell at the big box stores are made I think by MTD (modern tool and die co) and not of true CUB blood lines.  Like wheel Horse, became Wheelhorse by Toro, and then became junque, and like Troy Built became Garden Way became MTD became junque.  Ariens, Snapper, John Deere, and Husqvarna are the only ones still built by the namesakes.  and Even the John Deer and Husqvarna, sold by Lowe's Home Depot, etc are lesser than th ones sold through Name dealers.

Thanx everyone, the unit I am after is 1980 circa, made by IHC, MTD has been making them for years, there newer units are decent too, My dad, and few friends have them.

I have a Sears Honda powered 7 years old, it has been good, but a bit flimsy, and no shaft PTO for the tiller,snowblower and such. And no 3 point hitch either
