The Farmall Cub which was red as all Farmalls were had a makeover in the
early 70s with slighly different tinware,
a power increase from 9 to 12 hp. and standard hydraulics. It was
renamed the Cub Cadet and painted yellow and white. This theme was
continued when IH got into the lawn and garden market and the name
became a brand. At this time the tractor formerly known as the Cub Cadet
became the 120. I believe that the 120 was dropped from the line when
Cub Cadet was sold.
