Picked up a 63 Original
 

Hey all, been lurking for some time now, decided to post to spread the good news. I currently have a 73 108 thats third gen in my family now. My son is over the top into the cub cadet tractors so my father and I have been looking for one of his own, we found this Original in a trailer at a local farm. My dad picked it up friday. Its a 53,xxx serial number which put it early 63 m/y.

The thing is extremely clean and probably in running condition once we clean up the fuel system. My son was completely nuts over this thing friday, and showed everyone at my folks house sunday during the memorial day picnic they had. Oh the awesome bonding time we will have redoing this machine this coming winter. Will get some pictures up soon.

On a side note, I am trying to download the service manual from the tech section and I am not able to do so. It loads a blank page. The manual for my 108 loaded just fine though?????

Cool ride!!

:Welcome2:

Congrats on the Original and the smile on your son's face! Thanks for the pics too!

I checked both manuals and the links work for me. Here's the direct download. The one is large and might take your computer time to download it depending on internet speed.
