I've been lurking here and making notes for a basically a month now, but since I finally got 1.5 Cub Cadets of my own yesterday, I figured I'd register up and join the community.
I'm a 27 year old mechanic from small town USA, MI with 4 acres of yard to manage in my free time.
Being a fan of over-engineered old Iron, I naturally stumbled into the vintage cub scene for the sake of doing the yard work that my Zero-Turn wont.
Something small that can roto-till, pull a large lawn roller, and occasionally push or pull dead vehicles into my garage was the goal and I think these "two" units should fit the bill perfectly. When assembled as one of course. Or maybe even separately depending on fate.
I got them for basically nothing, and I learned from my last project (the large green thing with the star on the door) that you really wont know what you have unless you end up rebuilding it from the ground up.
Being basically abandoned in the woods meant a clean slate from my perspective.
So thanks for the approval to the admins here, and thanks to everyone in here for already posting the genuinely useful info that I've been jotting down in my little note-book for the past month.
Looking forward to learning the knowledge required to keep old hobbies like this one alive.
