I'm pleased with the way my new-found 100 starts and runs. However I guess I'll be rebuilding the steering box right away. There is a lot of play at the wheel although all the tie rod ends etc seem tight. That's OK though, I might as well go ahead and learn how since I've found the other five Cub Cadets I plan to buy in the next two or three weeks.
Edit: The old guy has backed out on selling me the other Cub Cadets, unless he changes his mind
again. But I'll still be rebuilding the box on my new 100.
