Bet cha can't guess!!
 

Well after a few days of waiting and hoping, I was able to get a cub I've been looking for since Mike and I made a trip to see Lew. See if you guys can figure out what is special about it before I let the cat out of the bag. And Mike you don't get a guess because you were there when I got it and I owe ya a great big THANKS for all the help landing it!!!! :biggrin2:

I know what it is!!:bigthink:

I dont know :bigthink:

SHHHH:Shhhh:

Invisible Engine?

Rubber band powered or solar with a big Gov. subsidy. :biggrin2:

The serial # is the first or last made.I do not see a lift arm but it does have a rockshaft.possible nos frame?

nice clean 71 i want one hehe i dont know what is special about it let the cat out of the bag already:biggrin2:

I'll take a stab. Looks like a early model because of the solid clutch shield. The grill looks like a IH56? I think maybe it has something to do with the crown fenders? 6.8 foot outside turning radius? Cell phone jack?

I'm stumped, but my 71 is a late model.

It was once owned by Abraham Lincoln??

Which one the "vampire slayer" or the "emancipator" ?

I'll take a stab at it. It was a flinstone model!

Or it ran on will?

Come on all ready ,all you guys that know the old cubs take a stab at it.

Waiting to hear the answer...

Some interesting guesses, but your all wrong!! Here's a couple different pictures lets see who figures it our now :biggrin2:!!!

I know! Pick me!:biggrin2:

Hey I got one of those motors on my 72.Now I remember...you saw my pull start and you had to have one of your own.

Hehehe!!! :bigthink:

You know it Lew!!! I've been looking for a pull start since we left your house that day!! We'll I got me one today! A pull start 71 :biggrin2:!!

Nice and welcome to the club.

Thanks Lew! It's going right the front of the restore line!!! Hoping to get started next weekend, depends on how many tractors Mike buys at the auction next Sat. :biggrin2:

You know how I like auctions ...

Yeah, You seem to have all the auction luck!!

:biggrin2::biggrin2:

LOL....maybe both..

Nice find on your recoil start 71, Eric!

My father in law and I picked up a 100 with fenders, and the mower deck today at an auction. So that puts us up to 3 little tractors between us. Would post a pic, but I use my phone to access the forum, and it won't let me upload any.

nice pull start 71 eric i like auctions:biggrin2:

Pull, Pull, Pull, Put,Pull,Put,Put,Pull,Put,Put,Put,Put,Put
 

Nice Score there Eric! Can't say that I've ever seen one. Any idea on how many were made?

I agree Bill, I had no clue either.

Looks like this....

I like The NO BATTERY thing!:biggrin2:

Nice find on the pull start. Can't say I ever seen one in person either. Sure would be a nice addition to a collection.

Lew,
I'm curious. How hard are those to start? I assume if you've got a nice, hot mag and the carb set right, they'll fire right off. I guess it's not like you're pull starting a K341. :bigeyes: :biggrin2:

I was going to guess a recoil start engine before I saw the answers because I did not see a wiring harness hanging off the frame.

That sure is a nice looking 72 Lew!:beerchug:

How do you shutoff the engine? I know the redneck way to :biggrin2:

what mike said:beerchug:

OK I get the cool factor but I would rather push a button or turn a switch to start the engine, guess it's just me. Maybe cause I'm old and lazy.:bigthink:

Josh,
It starts on the 1st or 2nd pull,sometimes one pull.

To stop the motor you turn off the key!!! what a great idea.

Yes it is Mike,but you prolly have like 6 of them.

I do but not with the pull starts Lew!

Thanks for the insight Lew.

Mike, we've found something cub related that you don't have yet! :beer2: :biggrin2:

Turn the key and it grounds the mag.
