Default Look what I found

He said the mice built a nest. What I didn't think about was them chewing the wiring. I have to pull the flywheel and fix my stator harness.

Bought a "twinsie" as my 15yr old said,lol. It's another 1200, this one has external brakes. I bought it not running. I took my battery and a did compression test before I bought. 110lbs. Its cleaner than my 1st.

No kidding! Nothing like having the headliner of a field-find truck come down on your head, only to discover that it was the bottom floor of Hotel Maus

Sorta like turning on the windshield defroster on the grain truck and watching the mouse chewing's and little turds shower over the dashboard and onto ones self.

You guys are giving me nightmares!

I inherited a freebie Craftsman GT5000 from a neighbor who left it in a mouse infested garage. A year later and I still can't make the smell go away. It helped when I put new front tires on.

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.
