Thanks Jeff! I'm happy how it turned out. I can't wait to show the orginal owner's son.

The 73 looks fantastic. I have got to get me a welder too. I hate having to borrow one every time I turn around.

scleve 08-06-2011 10:29 PM

Great looking 73! I wish you could get a picture when you show it to the PO"s son!

Very nice job man! Good to see a fellow Ohioan on board and doing such clean work.

I have motor issues (smoke) with my 129, which I use as a primary mower. I feel your pain!

Actually, looking at your avatar, we seem to have similar taste in Cubs! Your 128 looks almost identical to my 129, chrome hubs and all!

Good luck with the sale, and with the new purchase.

Fine job. Wish I could say oh well I'll get another one someday, I don't think I've ever seen a 73 other than pictures around here. :beerchug:
