Hello everyone. I have been a lurker on here for a couple of weeks now and am truly impressed with some of the tractors and knowledge of some of the members.

I was brought in to the Cub scene a couple of years ago when I was given a blown up 129. I did a little research online and figured it was worth a rebuild. Am I ever glad I did! These Cubs are awesome!!

I now have a 129 and two 149's. I have decks from 42'' to 48'' along with the tillers , disc , 10'' moldboard plow , 42'' and 54'' snow blades and in the last year or so , have ended up with spare parts up the wazoo!!

Here is my 129. I refinished it last summer and still need to do the deck and decals but it's looking pretty good so far!

Next up to be refinished is one of my 149's. It's in pretty good shape and runs like a top. I am going to do this one with powder coat instead of paint.

The one thing I am lookin for is a good source to get the seats recovered. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks all,
Jeff.

Great looking Cubs you have.

Jeff: Welcome. To respond to your question... when I want to have an original seat pan recovered, I take them to an auto upholstery shop which specializes in antique auto restoration - that vinyl top material used in the 60's & 70's is good stuff... b - u - t, if you are looking for cheep...this ain't it.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I have thought about an upholstery shop for the seats. Didn't figure it would be cheap. I built a custom backrest for my motorcycle and had my pad upholstered to match my seat...can you say sticker shock!! :eek:

The seat on my 129 is one of those $35 specials from tractor supply and I had to make brackets for it to even fit. But I needed something. I would rather spend a little more to have it done right I guess.

:Welcome2: Jeff! Glad to have you! Nice cubs you got there.

still around Jeff
 

I need one of the hyd. lift bracket you have in your pic. Do you still have it?
