After running for 20 minutes or so, it started to leak oil out of the front seal, again. Even with a new seal installed to spec, it still leaks oil. I belive the old seal spun around in the hole too long, causing wear that cannot be fixed.

Since I now live in town and only need it for moving snow, I decided to say goodbye and stop the Cub Chapter of my life for the time being. It already is sold and will go to a new home in Western, IA, were I hope it is restored and enjoyed.

You all have been fun. I'll be stopping in now and then.

Thanks!
Please stick around!
