Default The smell of summer.
I got home last night and put the deck on the 1211, it was about 7pm and the grass was wet but I went for it anyway. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't really smell the grass but this morning I went into the shed before leaving for work and the smell of fresh cut grass hit me and I said "now that smells like summer", I can't wait for more.

Only good thing about winter is no grass mowing and no mosquitoes

Back in my racing days I used Sunoco 110 octane leaded race gas for the race car. At the end of the season I would fill the 1210 with it. Talk about a good smelling exhaust. Yeah I know I'm just not right.

I also enjoy mowing- the smell is part of the allure for me. Getting closer to putting the deck on here too. I might just do it sometime this week.

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.
