It does seem like a decent machine, but it’s not a Cub. He had it since new, and never had any problems. There is something wrong with the deck on it. I think it is because the engine is leaking oil onto the deck pulley and causing the belt to slip. Sometimes the deck spins normally, other times it spins slowly.

When it is sold and profit is in hand, remember the kind gentleman that gave it to you with a small token of appreciation.  |
Since he wouldn’t take any money, I offered to help him with maintenance on his new tractor.
