Yeah, MTD does make Cub Cadet. They bought them out from IH back in (I think?) 1982. I could be wrong on that, though. Here is the link to MTD's website:

Yes, MTD does own the Cub Cadet name. But 'who makes the tractors' is a very different answer.
The Cub compact tractors of the '90s thru about 2002 (the 7000 series) were made by Mitsubishi. In 2003 they introduced new compact tractors. The larger ones are made by Kioti and match the Kioti specs. I believe that the smaller ones (including the gas models /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif) are made by Dihatsu.... but I could be wrong on that.
Kioti does make nice compact tractors, but I wouldn't trade my cub for any other color. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, the compacts are made by other people for Cub Cadet. For some dumb odd reason I was thinking he meant the lawn and garden tractors. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
So Daihatsu does make the 5000 & 7000 series? Do they make the new 30 & 32 hp 7000 series tractors? I was wondering who made them. Is Daihatsu a Japanese company?

The larger Cub Cadet 8000 series tractors are built by Kioti. I have not seen any information that points to the 7000 series 30 & 32 HP being built by Kioti.

I've got a 7264.(2003)
It was "built"(assembled) in the USA. I believe in Ohio.
The engine is a Diahatsu. They've been building engines, cars and trucks in Japan for years.
Alot of the "castings" on the tractor come from China. (ie: trans / differential )
Many of the tractor companies are using China castings.
The new 8000 series are ;I'm told , out of Korea . The 8000 diesels have a Cat engine.

The 8000 series don't use the Daedong engines like their orange counterparts? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
