Howdy all,
This is my first cub. Picked it up from a guy and it became apparent the maintenace had not been in this machines life for about 10 years. It was running when i got it, so truth be told i was very happy abou that. I did one lap around the yard and brought it in for the overhaul.
This is my 1450 next to my generally worthless Craftsman DYS 4500. (well not worthless, my wife uses it to mow the front lawn, but my backyard is mountain and it just didnt have the...Gears.
What is sad is that i can see the original decals looking pretty clean through that rattle can black.
Began the teardown
Im pretty sure this is factory
No need for an air filter for the last few years
So far the only POL leak i have is from the transmission. Theres lots of little things i need to do cosmetically, but im going to re-wire, take the ol' kohler to the machine shop ect. There will be alot more to follow, but for now im off to locate parts.
I am currently looking for a cub parts dealer, or a good service shop in missouri, and the following parts
Dash tin, tie rod ends, better seat, all the other things you guys can see off hand.
