Nice to meet you, and welcome along to Only Cub Cadets! Too bad about your engine rebuild,.... I started off on an Original at about 12 years of age, and at 14 I began work pumping gas full time during the summers. While all the kids were on kick bikes, I drove my Original to work each day rain or shine. So, I been around an IH Cub Cadet a while, and as a member here too!
You will appreciate the vast amount of information here!
Glad to have ya!
