Noob in Northern Illinois

[Chris Adesso]

Hi all! Thanks for accepting me into the forum and I look forward to the collective hive mind's thoughts, ideas and suggestions. I'm actively looking for my first Cub for a yard tractor/mower. Leaning to starting with a Cadet 60...we'll see.

Thanks again and have a great rest of the week!

Make your way up to Portage, WI week after the 4th to the HUGE show at the fairgrounds there.
Garden Tractor Daze it's called.
You will not be disappointed!!

Welcome Chris.

It's aluminum and if you get too aggressive you will obliterate all of the info on that tag including the lightly stamped in serial number.

Think you replied to the wrong thread...

That's fantastic. Oops, is that a good thing?

Best thing ever!

Congratulations! Please post pics when you can.
Wow! Everybody is finding deals left and right. Finding old stuff too. Nothing like that in this neck of the woods. All the O's, 70/100's I have seen around here were bare bones, no fenders, lights or anything. Not the best looking paint job either, and asking $750 to $1200 for them.

Found some good people during my search and a great person that sold me his O. Tolerance of my million questions was a good indicator for me! Here she is!

SWEET! Looks great with the trailer and working her too!! Congrats

 

[Chris Adesso]

Thanks! Looking forward to having a lot of fun with Claudette the Cub!

Nice find, alot nicer than anything i ever find,

Wow! Got a #2 trailer to boot! Must be nice to casually find something like that. There must not be any nice people around here.
IF,IF,IF one like that showed up around here, the price would be around $1,500 to $2,500.

Got the #2 at a garage sale! Yup, I couldn't be believe it was there, and they were asking $120. Happy to shell it out to get the cart in such good shape.
