If I were you I'd only clean the deck with compressed air, and only wash the tractor with the deck off. That's a great way to rust out the deck.

Matt I figured that. I was able to get all of the water off the deck so there wasn't any standing water on it.

Thanks for the pics and vid, Duke. Evan is enjoying cleaning his new tractor! :biggrin2:

Oh yeah, a young man cleaning on his Cub. A wonderful thing. :biggrin2:

Congrats on the 1864, Duke! :beerchug:

His cub!:bigthink:

Thanks Conner!

My cubs
 

Finally got a pic of the 3208, also one with the 1211. The 3208 has my 48" deck hooked up right now.

Good looking cubs!

New to this site, new cub owner. Was looking for a new mower and knew I wanted a GT, came across this 1872 for $1250, 54" deck (originaly 60"), 54" blade, around 400 Hrs on a new engine. Has the original literature folder containing every receipt for anything bought for or done to it (original owner), including the original invoice - 1/27/90,$5199. Second owner wasn't as thorough, but obviously took good care of it. I've spent the last week reading this site and I must say, I am impressed, hat's off to the administraters and all the members who are so helpful. Since I have been reading the site, I know better than to post without pics, so here ya go;
Guess I should say a little about me, I'm a recently retired (34 yrs) sheet metal worker (Kansas City) living on 3 acres in a rural community just south of St. Joe, MO. That's my best buddy ever on the tractor, my 8 yr old grandson.

:Welcome2:

Nice looking 1872!
