got a 71 FREE!
older friend of mine was doing some cleaning, he said i can have some old homelite chainsaws, and to come on over and see what else i wanted, and i just simply said "what about the cub cadet?" he perked up and said"that old thing, i tell ya what, you can have it, but if you sell it i get half"
we picked it up tonight http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...y/DSC01674.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...y/DSC01673.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...y/DSC01672.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...y/DSC01671.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...y/DSC01670.jpg jumped it off with the golf cart after some point and plug sanding, and it RAN!! smoked like a tire fire, but it ran now can anyone tell me about the flower decal right past the dash on both sides? it's faded really bad |

Nice deal! :beerchug:
That tractor has some good options! The mule drive is the front bracket with 2 pulleys, the mower subframe bolts to it. I circled it in red in the picture. :ThumbsUp: |
WOW, Great gift... The lights front and rear were options. That one is really set up nicely. Congrats...:beerchug:
|
very nice of him to give that to you!
|
Not bad,... Not bad at all! :beerchug:
Where 'bouts in MO are you? I'm in Harry Truman's hometown. :Welcome2: |
Awesome 71 and great price too! Loots of nice opotions as everyone else has pointed out.
|
What a deal (steal) you got.
Enjoy the trip:beerchug: |

i got to drive it tonight, mow deck bearings are all frozen up, throttle and choke cables are frozen up, but i just ran the idle screw in some to get some rpm's , it really cleared the skeeters out of the yard! starter belt has a IH emblem on it,and the carb is the kholer carb. i see it has the K181 motor, i take it it's probably been a replacement motor? and is the engine suppose to be white or yellow,what about the seat is it correct? anywhere i can find a guide to awnser little questions like that? oh and the head lamps even work, tail light don't, and the seat fell off, |

That would be a replacement motor, not sure about color though. The seat is not original, the original seat is a metal pan seat. |
Sat out in the weather that long and it fired up that easily! No better feeling in the world, eh?!
Rust IS a color! |
