Cub 1450,
Here are some shots when I unloaded it in June. (believe me they never look as bad as they really are). This 147 was bad all over

Paid 125 for it and the load of stuff. Figure I have the cost of a new top of the line Craftsman into it!
And some shots I took on Saturday in the yard.
Thanks guys!
Duke,
My ears are ringing! But my ears ring all the time anyway, maybe just a little more after testing it around the yard today. Anything above a idle you should have ear plugs

For now its fun I may leave it that way for a while but eventually may drop a motorcycle baffle in to the vertical stack, or get a custom muffler built. It really barks/ snaps at high RPM! So far it really runs good. Would love to get it hooked to a plow and do some work!
And will easily lift the front wheels!
Some of the responses from family/ friends:
"Why is so loud?"
"I like it!"
"Very responsive!"
"Looks like a new one"
"Keep and eye one it I may take it home"
"Clean"
"Why did you build it?"
"It kept you out of the bars

"
Regards,
Chris
