About 15 years ago, one of dad's customers after he retired came by one evening with a really banged up older Cadet, think it was a 122. Anyway, his son-in-law (or some relative) was hauling the Cadet for him and the trailer came unhooked from the truck and deposited the Cadet in the middle of the highway. Other than bending the rear axles, the Cadet survived. Backed the trailer up to the shop (don't know how those 2 guys got the lawnmower back on because the owner was over 80 years old) and the 4 of us proceeded to roll/drag the mower onto the shop floor. I was at the back of the mower pulling when all of a sudden WHAM--trailer came unhooked again and slammed onto my foot--literally pinned me to the floor. Thank God for steel toed boots. Turns out, the guy had the wrong size ball on the truck.
As for the Cadet, there was another older Cadet outside with a blown engine and too worn out to justify repairing--but the hydro was good. Called the owner and he gave the rear to the other guy so dad did a swap and put the old man back in business.

Hope the foot feels better Tim! Now go get some safety toe footwear--lot of folks buying composite these days.

Well, that sucks. Broken big toes hurt like the dickens. Glad you didn't.
Did you cuss? I find that makes it feel better.

Yep, still cussing this morning. I don't think it's broke but it sure is tender.

Default ouch!!!! Been there, done that!

You can drill a small hole in the toenail to relieve the pressure under it by rotating a tiny bit between your thumb and forefinger, or heat up a paper clip until the end is cherry red and touch it gently to the nail to burn through it. (it make take a couple of reheats) I had it done both ways by a nurse at work before ,back in my "working days". (as soon as the hole is through, the blood squirts up through it and the relief is instant) Even though I always wore steel toed safety shoes, I'd wind up dropping something and it would land right behind the steel toe.

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.
