Cub Cadet Specialist Buys, Sells, Repairs, Restores
Scott Urschel is a bonafide expert in the repair, restoration and general maintenance of Cub Cadet lawn and garden tractors. Urschel’s Cub Cadet Connection business carries a large supply of new, used and reproduction parts for virtually every Cub Cadet model ever made.
“I grew up with Cub Cadets because my dad and grandfather both worked in an IH dealership that sold them,” Urschel says. “As a kid I started tinkering with them to see how they worked, also mowing lawns, tilling gardens and pulling trailers. After I went to school for machining, my dad and I started repairing and restoring them part time in 1997 as a hobby. I made it a fulltime business in 2016. I enjoy it because I meet a lot of different people who share the same interest I do.”
Urschel says there’s a 3-part market for the thousands and thousands of Cub Cadets still out there. “A lot of people are still using them so they need replacement parts which I carry or can locate. Collectors want rare models, and pullers need specific parts.”
Urschel’s inventory includes about 100 complete tractors and parts that he’s removed from more than 1,000 tractors over the years. He does up to 10 full restorations a year, handling all the mechanical work himself and contracting out the paint and final finishing. He also contributes regular technical articles on Cub Cadets to Lawn and Garden Tractor Magazine (www.lagtmag.com).
Urschel says that over the years he’s owned, repaired or restored at least one of every Cub Cadet model ever built since the brand originated in 1961. About 30 of his tractors were equipped with Danco, Johnson and Kwik Way Loaders, which were made specifically for Cadet tractors.
“The brand really has a good reputation because those first models from 1961 to 1981 used the transmission from a Farmall Cub tractor,” Urschel says. “They were very durable and still work well today if they’re properly maintained. Quite a few people still look for them because they can keep it in a garage and use it for mowing, snow blowing, and yard work.”
Urschel acquires and sells tractors and parts when he attends shows and finds more of the same through a network of acquaintances he’s made over the years.
