Greetings from Upstate NY
 

Hi,
I'm a new Cub owner as of this week. Just bought a 129 to replace my old Craftsman lawn tractor. I wasn't actually going to buy a Cub as I have a GE Elec-Trak E10 that I'm in the process of restoring, but I needed a tractor to mow on our property right now and the price was right. Came with a 48" mowing deck and the 42" IH plow (and a reprint of the manual). Tractor was cleaned up and restored to a nice working condition by the guy who sold the tractor to the guy I bought it from (who only used it this past winter to plow snow). All I need to do is buy new belts for the mower deck.

Used it today to move some gravel from our stream to our barn. the throttle takes a bit to get used to, but she is running fine after I adjusted the carb.

My wife says I bought it because it's yellow, loud and old, to replace the Dodge M37 Brush Truck I sold a few years ago.

I'm not so sure she's wrong :Whistle:

:Welcome2: Mike! Glad to have you! Great looking 129, you have there!

Thanks, I was happy to find a strong forum as a resource.

Am I using the Belt Chart correctly? Does my 48" mower use these two belts,
IH-489397-R3 3/8 x 75 1/2" and IH-489399-R1 1/2 x 80"?

Thanks!

Wow, very nice.

Nice Cub. Great to have you here.

:Welcome2: from another upstate Ny'er! What part of Upstate do you live?

The East end of 90, right next to the Mass border in Austerlitz, tucked into the backside of the Berkshires.

:Welcome2:

Great pics! You'll be mowing with it in no time!

Yep! Just waiting on a response from the closest Cub dealer on availability of the belts.
