Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. My neighbor bought a Cub at home depot 2 1/2 years ago. He was so pround getting rid of his crapsman & now cutting with a real lawn tractor as he called it.

1st Summer; He was agast that HE HAD to take it in for repairs. Rented a trailer & waiting 3 weeks for repairs. Then to find out the problem was NOT covered under warranty. lol. What does one expect ? he brags all the time about his Masters degree from U of Chicago. He is a sorta a POMPUS #&@$%

2nd year; Mid summer it broke down again, leaking oil. He wont admit to me how much that cost.

Last year; Bearings went out on his deck. after 2 1/2 Summers of cutting grass.

When he first got it he was Soooooooo proud. But he didn't understand what an Ole' Cub Meant, I tried to explain to him but he didn't get it. Now he NEVER EVER BRINGS UP THE SUBJECT.

Nik,
