Future Cub collector

[DieselDoctor]

I'd like to share a picture of my granddaughter, Rylynn. She just turned 6 yesterday and one of her most favorite things to do when visiting, is drive the 149 around the back yard by herself. She's been riding on my lap for at least a couple of years now, and has well learned all the do's and don'ts of being safe. She knows how to check the oil each time out, pull the choke when cold and start it by herself. I still do the gas filling, although she is watching and learning. I rigged a throttle stop on the lever so she has about 1/2 throttle at max. The yard is a little over an acre of flat grass with a few widely spaced trees, perfect for training new Cub operators (and future grass cutters!) If you think this is just the bragging of a proud grandpa, you're darn right!!

I started out the same way. Dad taught me the basics at about that age on a little 72.

Teach'em right, Doc! I learned on a 127. Ah the memories......

Good job Doc. My son is the same age and has been driving alone for a while now. Teaching him the fine art of backing a trailer now. I think he's the only kid in his class that can do such things and he's proud of it. Way to go!
