Found in the woods
 
Hello all,
I am new here at only cub cadets, I would like to take a moment to tell you of my most recent find. Yesterday I stopped by a property of a friend of mine who passed away because I saw his daughter there burning trash, and by pure coincidence I had my trailer with me. This guy was an old lawn mower and tractor mechanic so he had a decent bone yard of mower stuff most of which has been picked through since his passing. I stopped to inquire about some trailer axles I was interested in purchasing, so she was pointing out where all the axle she knew off were. She pointed me through some brush and out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of a almost complete cub 100 almost completely hidden in the trees and brush. As my brother put it i didn't exactly 'play it cool" when I spotted the 100, but after verifying her price on the riding mowers that were complete and getting her permission to cut down a few trees, we began to recover the tractor. After a couple hours of cutting trees, clearing brush, digging, and fighting frozen ground she was out, and both parties were delighted that she had a new home.

:Welcome2: Wow!! That is a great rescue story--can't wait to see your pictures of it in an upcoming post/thread. I was going to warn you about yellow fever, but it sounds like you already caught it "in the woods".
