Default Speed trap
Sheriff parked one of those speed carts on the road into town.
Kids did this:
Oldest said the 149 did 10mph earlier that day, cart must have been slowing the 129 down.

Terry,

That is funny!! I will have to say I would have been tempted to try it myself if I had the same opportunity. I think we all have a bit of "kid" left in us!!

Hey at least there wasn't a green cop waiting there to give him a ticket! Wait, that wouldn't be a bad thing because I bet he couldn't catch the Cub!

*Please no one take offense to that!! *

This morning I got some mysterious questions about throttle linkages and what a governor does.
I knew where this was heading so I told them the weak link was the cast iron flywheel, but made the mistake of telling them steel flywheels exist. I think they are looking up the price of steel ones vs their weekly allowance.

Do you think, maybe, they want to crack that 10mph barrier!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
