I think we bypassed spring and went right into summer, got bit by a mosquito today.

Yeah, looking to get the engine for my 129 built, have it bored and honed out, and the crank shaft ground.

Last Year, I was mowed for the first time on April 6th. This year, I think it will be towards the end of April. They had predicted snow here today in North Eastern Illinois. Glad they were wrong. I can't wait to plow up the garden, but that's still probably a week or two away yet.

Got my 2nd garden plowed yesterday after I cleaned off the asparagus patch and ran all that debris plus more through the 59-M shredder and scattered it all around.

Sorry for the sideways picture, no clue as to how THAT happened!!

I am looking forward to spring. But it could be a while yet
before we get to motivated for the garden. Garlic is up and
thriving but that was planted last fall.
Woke up to 2 inches of fresh snow this morning. It won't stay
long but makes it too muddy to work the garden. I think I can safely
take the chains and snow thrower off the 125.

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.
