Hello from Down Under. 🦘

[Bruce Gourlay]

Hi Everyone, Nice to become a member of this site, and looking forward to gaining lots of knowledge. As title suggests i am down in Australia and little to no cub cadets around. 1000 with k241 motor let conrod go last year but i had a major seizure and lost alot of memory so getting back up and running has been hard. I believe with help from everyone here the road to mowing won't be to far away. Again thank you for having me.

Bruce, WELCOME! Nice job on the 1000.

I believe we now have two members from Australia.

 

[Bruce Gourlay]

Yes have seen one that lives in Victoria and has the pictures of kookaburras.. shame he is a few thousand miles(klms) away..

Welcome Bruce. Glad to have you with us.

Just a quick question and probably not the correct place to ask. Mine being a QL 1000 wondering which section i ask questions about my cub cadet?
IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum or IH Cadet Lawn Tractors?
New to the whole classification of the cub cadets.

The Garden Tractor Forum....

Hey Bruce - welcome aboard, or should I say under-board. You found the right place to get details on your tractor. Just ask away in the IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum.

They just find another resting place (even down under)

nice looking 1000. My son has one and he loves to plow his garden with it. Didn`t IH once have a manufacturing plant in Australia for the large tractors ?

 

[Bruce Gourlay]

I haven't actually researched about them here in Australia due to lack of parts, but now that my interest has come back i will. I haven't been able to find stickers or badges here hence the painted strips. Was going to try paint IH and side lettering but might try cost of bringing some down under. And yes they did for bigger tractors lots of old ones around.

This youtube channel has a bunch of Australia/ IH related videos.
