These things multiply like rabbits!
 

As I noted in the Hello thread 2 weeks ago, new guy here, just drug home a clean 147. Showed it to my neighbor, he starts talking with a guy at his work.. neighbor comes home asking if I want another. The guy just wants it out of his pole barn. So I leave fr work friday, left a few bottles of 'liquid refreshment' on the seat of the 147.... and here's what I see when I get home!

a 1200. Flat tire, quite panels laying next to it. I guess it ran, about 6 years ago, or so.

So, an hour into "tear down" on saturday morning, cleaned carb and fuel tank, adjusted the valves, new plug, new battery, free up the clutch and a bunch of scrubbing and we're off to the races!

The deck is in rough shape, so I've got to figure out what to do about that. AND I got to come up with an answer for the wife as to why I need two of these! :bigthink:

I'd say that you're a lucky fellow!
I wish that someone would just drop a Cub off at my place! :biggrin2.gif:

Wow, you can't beat a free Cub Cadet! Good luck, with it. :beerchug:

I'll have to try that. Few bottles for another Cub :biggrin2.gif:

That's great Gadgetman
Just think what you would get for a Keg or a case of whiskey?

Nice 147 ,,

Thanks Guys, when he offered the 1200, he offered it as parts, and since I don't like to get anything for free, he's going to have to buy a bunch of Coke to mix up all that big bottle of rum!

Wow! Where can I get that kind of hooch? Try :bash2: telling the wife one is for back up. Never know how long it takes to get a good price on parts. It's not like you have to feed, water, or clean up after it.:biggrin2.gif: They are like potato chips... you can't have just one.:beerchug:

You really have several options that I think you are overlooking...

Does your wife not collect anything???

Let her drive the best running one and see for herself...

The next time she brings home another... anything that she already has one of, ask her why she needed another one.

Remind her that Cub Cadets only increase in value, and being this one was free and only needs minor repairs once you get it finished, it should fetch quite a price when she has your auction after you pass. So in reality you are only thinking of her.

Tell her it's because you don't have room for an antique automobile.

Tell her that any fella with Two Old Cub Cadets AND a Wife as Pretty as Her is the envy of the neighborhood.

The list goes on and on... You just have to use as little imagination.

How bout you got one for each side of the driveway!

Great score nice looking cubs
They do multiply I have 5 in various stages of fixin in my cub shack!!!
