1961 Original Again
 
It's bad when you will wash your tractor but not your truck? I added one last piece to my first O. Do you see it? :biggrin2::beerchug::biggrin2:

Ronnie, I am guessing the mulch plate on the deck. Man oh man is that O gorgeous!:drool2:

Dang I thought it would be harder to see. But you are correct. That O is done, I refuse to do anything but use it. And that will be very little. Mow the front yard so all the neighbors can stop and talk about it. That's how I ended up with another one I haven't shown anyone yet. Have it apart and will be done as soon as I can paint.:biggrin2:

That is one sweet O. Great job on the restoration.

Wow! That is a sharp "O" Great job! :beerchug:

I have to say that is one fine looking Original. The first Cub Cadet I ever drove was an Original back in 1962 at our local IH dealer. I volunteered to mow his grass just so I could drive it. I tried to talk dad into buying one but he waited until the 71's came out to buy his first Cub. One of these days I will find one to restore.

:biggrin2: I like my low profile Head Lights. :biggrin2: It doesn't look like a big bug coming at you. Only bad thing about that picture is you can't see the creeper handle. :bigthink:

He doesn't have his anymore. I think anyway right Sam?

Sam Mac 02-18-2017 11:15 AM

Nope, I sold my O :beerchug:

Thanks Nick. I've been working on the 4 digit all day. Got the deck parts painted and now just need to put it all back together and stick it under it. Hope I don't have any parts left over. :biggrin2:

Spectacular O Ronnie! Great Job!

RustyYellow 02-18-2017 10:58 PM

Gorgeous tractor Ronnie.

And, women only think they can have the big "O".

jaynjeep 02-18-2017 11:03 PM

Looks great Ronnie! Just a suggestion... may want to shorten those bolts on the wheel weights... I ruined a good pair of jeans on a long set of bolts one time.. :beerchug:

tinkerman 02-19-2017 12:29 AM

I thought that's what this site was for.....showing off👍👍

You must of read my mind? I went to the hardware and exchanged those carriage bolts yesterday. I had to get some white paint, and was looking at those long bolts and figured while I was going, might as well?

I have now made it one of my goals to make my O look as nice as that one! Love all the options, that thing looks sharp!

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my first Cub. Please show us pictures and let us know how it's going. :beerchug:

That sure is a beauty to behold. Too nice to use. Yours reminds me of Zippy's NOS Original!

Lol, I don't think there's a Original on the planet that is as nice as Todds. But my headlights look better. :biggrin2: I only use it to mow my front yard every once in awhile. :bigeyes: I think the 4 digit is just as nice as that 1st one. Has a completely different look, but I like it. :beerchug:
