The $17.00 72
 

I got this 72 at an auction 2 summers ago with a $7.00 70. Runs and drives well,that was 2 years ago.Pulled it out of storage and got it going,it is a little rough,but what do you expect for 17.00
I don't know what I am going to do with it.It is a pull start but it is missing the pull starter pulley.I have been looking hi and low for the correct pulley to go on the "coffin box".I have a correct Fairbanks Morse recoil,but the parts for the rest of it are so hard to come by.I may just part it or turn it into a battery ignition style system.Any suggestions besides selling it?

At least you didn't over pay for it.:biggrin2:

Lewis,
You alway have a knack for finding cubs and getting great deals. I sure wouldn't part it out. Keep your eyes peeled and a pulley may surface someday. Another option would be as follows: Seeing you paid 17 bucks for it a couple years ago, take into account the economy/inflation, I'd probably give ya 34 bucks and double your money:biggrin2::biggrin2:. All kidding aside, you got a great deal along with the $7 cub!! Hope you are able to locate the missing parts.

Lew, it's definitely worth one of your nice restorations! :ThumbsUp:

Oh please don't part it. It looks to have alot of potential from the pictures!

After closer inspection of the pics, it looks like the po put a bracket on the front grill. They must of had a starter/gen that spun the wrong way and mounted it backwards to start it. That would be a perfect pic for one of the po mods!

Yeah Red56turbo,
That was on there,the po used a battery pack to start it.Sold that a long time ago...
