Model History[]

For Company history see
Main article: International Harvester

The International Cub Cadet series was slightly restyled in 1967, with a new reverse-slanting grille and forward-slanting headlight panel that gave the front end a Z-shape when viewed from the side. The tractors were barely changed mechanically, though it would seem. The International Cub Cadet 72 was a new and improved upgrade to the International Cub Cadet 71.

International Harvester's 1968 Cub Cadet line up debut the "Quick Attach" system for all tractor models. This new feature made attaching and removing implements a whole lot easier than the previous garden tractor model years. Another helpful improvement for the IH Cub Cadet owner, was the new easy- to- remove grill insert. This would allow the operator fast access to the engine power take off unit, and other engine related components. The dash tower, and ignition key switch would be redesigned. The IH Cub Cadet 72 implement lift lever was also redesigned with a stronger frame, and push button float and lock.
