Hi from Ohio
 

Hi I'm new around here. Just bought myself a Cub 72. Poor old boy needs some TLC but I'm getting there!

:Welcome2::Welcome2:

Good to see another person from Ohio on the site.

What part of Ohio are you from?

Welcome to OCC! :biggrin2:

Got any pictures of your newly acquired Cub?

Welcome, lots of help here if you need it.

Welcome to OCC. Where are you located? Toledo here ..

Ohio is clearly in the thick of IH cub Cadet country! Nice to have you!

Sorry for the late reply. From Columbus area. I'll post a pic as soon as I'm able to. Got the Cub 72 partially apart now to clean it up, rebuilt carb & cleaned. Cant keep it running now tho; fires up with starter fluid (which I hate) and dies instantly. Been searching this site for some answers , im sure i'll get it going eventually.

Welcome! (From another new member for Ohio).

Welcome.:beerchug:
If it starts with starter fluid, (wouldn't be my first choice) but won't without, seems you have a fuel to carb issue. Did you disconnect the fuel line at the carb to see if you have flow?
Do you have the original fuel bowl still on the tank? This is where pictures help, so for now we'll leave it there till we here back from you.:bigthink:

Greetings! I'm one of the growing flock of newbies from Ohio. I live in Rootstown (Portage County) after transplanting from Southern California 4 1/2 years ago. Spent many a summer in NE Ohio while teaching in SoCal - now I get to live here! (Wife's a native, and needed to become caregiver to her 92 y/o mother.)

Got my first garden tractor yesterday after four summers of push mowing our 3/4 acre. Got a 73 off Craig's List with a snow blade. I was a groundskeeping supervisor for many years before teaching, however, so I have spent thousands of hours on various mowers: Kut-Kwik Slopemaster being the most fun, flail mower behind a '53 Ford Golden Jubilee being the scariest - nearly drove it into a creek with a 10 foot drop while clearing tall weeds! A 72" Jacobsen was my mainstay as I made pretty patterns on the ball fields of the university where I worked. Never heard of Cub Cadet until I moved permanently to Ohio! For that matter, had never heard of Cornhole or Euchre, either!

Glad to join OCC as I plan to restore my 73, even though it's in usable condition at the moment....

Welcome to OCC!

I escaped Ohio years ago but came back :banned:...and live near Youngstown. Anyways this is fun, informative group. :beerchug:
