Default First Cub

Hi all!

Neighbor has had this sitting out front for a while and I finally caved and picked it up It's my first Cub but I can feel the addiction beginning already, uh oh. I am pretty sure it's a 102 but I'm not positive. It's got the 10hp Kohler K241 and the three speed gearbox. I think the hood might be wrong; doesn't seem like the same decal/logo that you normally see on tractors from this era.

Unfortunately there's no tag on the axle. It looks like it was initially painted red but has yellow on top; perhaps a Farmall axle that has been swapped in?

No creeper but I think I'd like to find one. Would like to find some implements as well. No projects to put it to work on yet, though, so for now I'll just be tinkerin'

One question I do have is - to start the tractor, you just put the key in and turn it one click clockwise and it fires up and runs. I would have expected there to be a separate key position for starting (or perhaps a pushbutton) but there isn't. Hopefully the starter/generator isn't in the start position at all times when running? Just doesn't seem right to me.

Thanks for looking!
