I hope I did this right. It's my first post.

This is my 4th Cub but the first for restoration. I'm going tomorrow to pick her up. Have a 7 hour round trip.
really looking forward to getting her home!

Have a Safe Trip!!
 
I just did the same thing a few days ago!!! Awesome! The best part for me is that they fit in my Element, so I can smell the gas/oil all the way home:beerchug: Have fun gettin her:American Flag 1:

OH ya, Welcome to the club!

Looks to be an early O , no slot in the steering column and no hole for a creeper gear. Fenders are always nice to have !!!

Have a safe trip on that looooong haul !!

Mick56--:Welcome2:, that is a very low # cub!! It should be a lot of fun for you to restore and then enjoy or perhaps enjoy and then restore!!! Nice find and congratulations on your haul!!

Sminkey...great job on your 7 HP. If your Original looks that great, then you may not be able to get a picture to post because the sheen from the paint job might not allow the camera to get a good shot in.......It looks awesome, keep up the great work!!

Good looking "O"!! I looked up on the chart and your machine was made in April 1961, yes a very early machine. What amazes me is how well those old "O"s were made to last in good shape till today.
