Only Cub Cadets - Missouri Owner Keeping Older Cubs Alive

Morning CC owners. Just purchased my second Cub Cadet mower. The first one is a '67 102 that I'm keeping as original as possible, but did need to get a new glass fuel filter system and a few other parts and the motor does knock, so I need to rebuild that one day. I don't mow with this and it does still have its 42" deck, as I only use this as what I consider a parade model in what USED to be made as a garden tractor that just happened to mow also.

For my second mower I now have a 2008 Recon Tank model that's a beast. It's been garage kept its entire life by original owner, but does have a few dings on it. Done some work on it already as some things were required and welding was needed, but all is well now and she goes through the grass like a herd of sheep that doesn't leave any fertilizer behind.
