For us, that first Cub Cadet led to a hunger for more information — and additional Cub Cadet tractors. I currently write two regular columns on Cub Cadets and serve as a moderator at the IH registry website. Cub Cadet enthusiasts refer to the phenomenon of collecting and messing with vintage Cub Cadets as "Yellow Fever." Obviously, I've got it bad. FC

    I just bought a Cub Cadet and I suppose the first thing I would like to know from some helpful soul is the year it was made. It came with a plow and everything works to my knowledge but time will tell. It says on the side that it is a 1211 and the Model # 785275 and Serial #149630100. I would really appreciate any help with this question and then I may proceed to put it in Bristol Fashion.

    Thank You
