Finally got my first IH CC
 

Well I finally snagged a sweet deal this morning on my first Cub Cadet, and much appreciation goes out to the forum and all of you who provided info. It's a very clean one owner Quietline 1000, with 38" deck, and only 440 hours on the meter. The PO had purchased it new, and calculated (with a pencil and paper!) how many times he'd used it for his small yard over the years, and had come up with 450 hrs.

It has the original tires & blades, two small places that need welded on the deck, electric switch for starting the deck/PTO, replacement metal gas tank with petcock added, 3 point hitch, and seems to run, function and sound excellent. The PO even fabricated a sturdy little T-handled tool to aid in turning the fuel petcock. I've only unloaded it, and ran it a little, will check it out closer later.

I know we all like pics, so I snapped a few. The tractor had not been cleaned when I went to look at it, and this is just how I took it off the truck. The paint is scratched up a little, but otherwise looks like it will polish up nicely with a detail job.

The Chevy S-10 was squattin' a little, but handled the 2 hr trip fine. Ended up laying the mower in the front of the bed and runnin the front wheels up on it on planks.

I'll be looking for some narrow front wheels, rear chains, and a few things, so check for my want ad.

Nice Cub, Congratulations :beerchug:

Nice find on the 1000!! Love the original tractors. I really like the metal fuel tank. No plastic cracking and leaking on it now. Super find! Congrats.

The 1000 looks very nice Josh!!
Congrats on the new toy!

Thanks everyone, been having fun with the new toy already. I'm surprised at how quiet it runs. I gave it a good scrubbing today, and cleaned the deck good.

Needs a few minor repairs, but not alot. I am considering more aggressive tires.

I found a piece of rubber edge stripping in the junk drawer, have no idea where it came from but was just long enough to do the edge of the hood.

You guys got me hooked!
