Today's Haul: Mars Sweeper for an Original
 

Got this from a fellow collector who bought it years ago from its original owner up in Minnesota, where it was manufactured. I passed on it years ago when he offered it for sale to me and regretted it. So when I saw it for sale this time around I made sure that I did not pass on it again.

The guy I got it from said that he has collected for years (he has a garage full of cubs, including about 4 or 5 chipper shredders, a steel cleated wheel original, and a 48" pin on deck still in the original box) and has never seen another one in person in all of his years as a collector.

If anyone has pictures or literature on this that they could post, I certainly would appreciate it, as it is missing the mounting brackets and lift rod/mechanism. I remember seeing a picture of an original with one on it a while back, but cannot find that picture anymore...

Yes it is. He's a good fella and very knowledgeable about his cubs!

Thanks guys! I'm very stoked to have it. I saw an old post from 2011 where I mentioned passing on it then I am glad to have it now. Hope to fix it up and see it run.
