Nice, last time I saw the F Cub it was in pieces. Isn't there a parade this year in town to show them off?

Can't quite relate to the oil situation, but can to the broken rod. After months of intermittent trouble shooting and a decent amount of work done on my 129 over the past two years, finally got it back from the shop last June, mowed with it twice, and the (original) rod snapped. Sort of heartbreaking at the time. Was thinking of calling it quits right there but then got a rebuilt motor from a local dealer who has worked on these old Cubs for decades.

I wish you the best with whatever engine you get for it. I was told here (and by others) to "save" the old girl, so that's what I'm trying to do.

Yes, the parade is in August. That 100 is the cub I bought from you a while back. I refurbished the deck and replaced the clutch......decided to repaint it, but by golly the only paint I had in the cabinet was red and white.....LOL

I rebuilt the engine, the picture of the red and white 100 is the one my son in law drove hard and put away broken, was good for me though.....I rebuilt what was needed refurbished the rest and now enjoy using it again

You need some fenders on that 100 willy, do they allow garden tractors at the tractor parade?
I would like to bring the 1512 for the 7 mile drive.

a set of fenders is on the bucket list for the 100. I don't know if garden tractors are allowed in the parade, but what I do know is that they need to maintain 8-9 mph the whole trip

[darkminion_17]

I know the 1512 will handle the drive and speed, but I do not want the law after me...
They have a similar parade in Montgomery ny, they all all types of tractors, garden and bigg'uns
