:Cub thank you for the warm welcome! I am kind of new to the cub craze, but it's starting to bite pretty hard!! I started three years agao with a model 81 ( start small right) and the next year bought a 105. I am now satisfied that my 105 is close to done, so want to plow with it this weekend. never done that either, but sounds like tons of fun. next month am planning on picking up a 149 and using it for my future plow tractor since it has the hydralic lift. the manual armstrong is ok, but I'm not 20 years old anymore and need all the help I can get. hope to meet a bunch of you at plow day, hardly know anybody, but am learning lots as I go. thanks again for the warm welcome, hope I can figure out how to post pictres soon. maybe get the other half to help me with that. |

Thanks for the welcome! I purchased a complete running 105 with rear blade and 42" deck in Oct, and less than 2 weeks later I am picking up a 169 with a blown engine, a 2B tiller, brinly sleeve hitch and cultivator, and 42"? mower deck. I am planning on rebuilding the engine myself this winter. Look forward to chatting with the other members, and probably askingfor some help. I'll send some pictures soon. Nick |

My affair with Cubs started with a 2165 my son in law gave me that I am restoring to sell. Since getting the 2165 I traded a couple of rods and reels plus lures for a Model 72 from a friend of mine. It was in pretty good shape but I have stripped almost everything on it and repainted it. I am almost done with it. I also have a 1961 original I haven't started on yet - I am waiting for the sandblaster I bought on Ebay to arrive to do that one. I am restoring these in my Father's memory. He was the 2nd shift foreman of the tool and die at the International Harvestor plant in Louisville, Ky for 30 years and retired from there when he was 55 years old. He passed away several years ago. I know some of the parts on my Original and my 72 were made at that plant. I wish he was alive so I could talk with him about the Cubs. My uncle also worked there and he used to work with the transmissions as far as I can remember, I still remember my uncle had one of the first Cubs that he had a tiller and plow to do his gardening. He is still alive, I believe, but it has been more than 40 years since I have spoken to him. He is in a nursing home in southern Indiana now and I am not sure what shape he is in. I may make a trip to see him in the near future. To make a little sense of why I haven't spoken to him or any of my mothers brothers and sister is because after my Grand mother died the brothers and sisters took everything out of her house before my mother could return to Indiana from Florida where we were on vacation - so you can see the stuff hit the fan. To think I used to make money when I was a boy cutting grass for the neighbors with a old cast iron dec push mower. If Dad would have bought a Cub which he could have bought through the company I could have made a lot more than I did and I wouldn't have had to pull that heavy push mower while riding my bike for miles. So that's my story. |

HI: I've been interested in lawn and garden tractors since I was a kid. Just retired and I am starting to collect a few. This looks like a great site and I hope to pick up a few tips here. Thanks for the kind welcome, Chris |

:Cub7 Hello, I have a 104 that belonged to my dad. He bought it new from a farm supply store with a tiller and cart. I have all three pieces. A little rough but I think they are all capable pieces. Dad passed some years back, but I have many memories riding this little tractor. The tractor has been in possession of only two people, him and myself. It has not been running for quite awhile, taking up space, so I guess I had better put it to some use. Right now it won't start and free wheels (rolls in any gear). I will be looking for some help getting it going again. I don't see many 104's talked about. Are they very rare? |

Hey Dads...welcome to the forum! Tractors can be time machines sometimes...taking us back. I have my grandfathers '57 Cub Lo-Boy and it reminds me of some fun moments with my grandfather...he taught me how to drive on it when I was 8. |

dads104, Thats really cool to have a tractor that you know the whole history of. And to still have the equipment that he bought with it just makes it that much better. :thumbsup |

Thank God its getting warmer 45deg today now we will have a flood. JMD |
