Only Cub Cadets - got the cub bug

Hi all, new member from SE Michigan. I mow about 4 acres of it with an old craftsman gt5000 with a 48'' deck. Every winter and summer, I've watched my neighbor across the street, blow snow over the roof of his house, and mow the field adjacent to his place, with an old cub cadet "square fender". Tired of the craftsman, I found and picked up a 1964 model 100. I wish I would have done it years ago. They really are like little tractors. Since then I've mowed weeds well over the hood, graded the driveway, rolled out the gofer mounds, and tried to pull everything with a hitch on it around the property. When I got her, all 4 tires were flat, the battery was connected backwards, the mower deck and linkages were in pieces with all the pins/belts missing in action, and the blades off. I was able to get it running in an afternoon, with a new battery, carb removal/cleaning, new plug, tank flush and fresh fuel, and a little cleaning of the points. Unfortunately, the deck is Too small to try to mow what I need to cut.
Completely impressed by the 100, I went ahead and took the plunge on a new GTX2100 with a fabricated 54'' deck. There are some differences, but theres are many similarities too. I am in no way dis-appointed with either machine, and look forward to a great experience with my two boys restoring the old gal. Heres some pics of my machines......
