Picked up a 4 digit Original
 

I have always wanted an Original, and a month ago or so I received a pic of a cub Original that was belonged to a friends father, and after he passed they wanted the "junk out of the garage". Knowing that I was a cub guy he asked if I wanted it. Of course, I said not knowing anything about it. So Yesterday I finally did the 100 mile trip to see what I had won and needless to say I am quite happy. It is a 61 Original Serial 6830 with factory fenders, Danco BB36 thrower and a Danco underdrive. It has chains original tires, 4 decent hubcaps, the original seat cover and I think it will run without too much trouble. Besides a few custom touches by the previous owner it is in great shape. the only thing I can see that is missing is the hood ornament and possibly the lower portion of the oil bath air cleaner ( but it might be under the tin can that is screwed to it). I think I will restore it, add a 3pt rear lift and install the 1 hole Brinly 10" plow I have for it.

Very nice O! Congrats!
I see a creeper too!:beerchug:

That is an awesome find. Congrats on the 4 digit O. Nice options as well.:beerchug:

nice original original.What is that round thingy on the first pic by the dash tower?

Looks like the bottom of the air cleaner to me.

NICE! Don't know if I would restore it or just clean it up:bigthink:. I'm certain you'll treat it well regardless.

The round thing on the tower is a horn

Fantastic find!

I'm digging the hubcaps. Good luck. These are fun to work with:biggrin2:
