Sunday's, May 10, Cub Adventures
Yesterday my brother told me about seeing a line of Cub Cadets, so off we go to look at them. The guy had 5 tractors lined up, a Sears Suburban, a Bolens 1050 and three Cubs. One was a 104 (I already have two of those), a 108 and what I believe is a 102. All are rough cosmetically and not too original. The 104 has the right deck, the 108 looks the best, but has an off-brand deck and dry rotted front tires, the 102 has a true IH front snow blade, but a cobbled up lift rod with a huge helper spring that looks like it will be murder on one's right leg. That 102 also had a butchered frame, someone cut a big hole where the creeper gear lever would be and then another notch where the points cover is. All 3 are non-running.
I might have been interested in the lot if the price was right, but I'm trying to convince the wife on a running 147 in Indiana.
