I don't sell cubs. I buy them. I keep them. Mine are not for sale. Oh, I might sell some parts every now and again, but not my tractors. If I don't want one, I don't buy it. If I do, then I want it. I have several waiting their turn to become a running member of my fleet.
That said, I gave my bro a tractor. (Younger bro. I'm the oldest of 5. He is #3) My brother is in the USAF and has been more than a big help to me in more ways than I can count. I did sell (ok, traded to him) a 1517 that I had gotten in a trade a couple years ago. I didn't want it (no use for a LT) so we made a deal. Well..... something on the motor went Ka-put second time he went to use it. He decided to replace it with a brand new Husqvarna small GT. I tried to get him to just buy an older cub, but he didn't want a "problem child". Well.... he hated the husky. So, we talked last year and I agreed to give him my 125, CC42 blower, a 42" blade, 42" deck and a #1A tiller with one extension. I figured, what they hey, he's given me so much. He didn't have room for everything, and I didn't have the "summer" equipment ready, so he took the tractor, blade, thrower, and 2 sets of tires and headed home today. I just hope that it gives him the great service it did to me.

Went through the blower and it got all new bolts, bearings and seals. Painted the rotor, but didn't paint the rest of it. Figured it would look silly painted up for the needing paint 125. (I can start another thread on the thrower rebuild if anyone is interested.)

Oh, and he brought back the 1517, so I'm going to have to do something with it.....
Fix it, or part it out.
