of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!".
