Default Really dear, it's not my fault

Couple months ago I needed to seriously start thinking about how I was gonna cut the grass. Two years ago the old MTD went over the bank and ended upside down down while still running, at least for half minute or so before it seized up. The old Snapper, well don't know what let go in the engine but it sure made a lot of noise when it did. Oh yeah, and then it stopped. The drive shaft on the mower of the '74 Ariens mower deck and the torque box it hooks into sheared apart. The aluminum box cracked and if I can find one they only want $400 for it. Don't think so. And my Cub 129, well it still sits in the shed where I put it two years ago. No time to work on it.
So, I posted the question here about buying some piece of tin crap tractor or looking for another Cub, hopefully one that ran.
Well, no surprise here, the unanimous reply was to find a Cub. Well, last month, when the grass was really getting up there, I saw one along the road, called the guy and it was reasonable. So I bought a 2140 and the grass is back in control.
Momma was happy, no complaints about that.
And then this happened.
I told her it wasn't my fault, the guys on the Forum would want me to do it.
So now the count is three Cubs. Just trying to figure out when I'm going to get to work on them.
But I couldn't turn this away.





Guy even threw in a wheelbarrow rim and tire.

Great looking 100 MikeC! Congratulations on your find / purchase! Nice that it came with wheel weights and a blade as well! Those weights cost a mint on E-pay.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
