Rare 440,
Welcome to the site.
That is a nice looking tractor. I really like the front grill guard. I have a similar tractor as you do, but mine is closer related to Shotgun Wedding's GT2100. I have the GT2000. The more I use it the more impressed I am. The one thing I noticed was after about 50 hours or so the engine appears to be more powerful and deeper sounding. I guess that is the completion of the break-in period. I wonder if other people noticed this as well.
I like the color of the your deck. A black deck does not show stains, scratches, or dents as much as a yellow one does. I try to keep mine as clean as possible, but it is not easy. If you keep your tractor in the garage, and do regular maintenance, it will last you as long as the older Cubs will--hopefully, I am not opening up an argument/can with that comment. The only thing the older Cubs have over your tractor or mine is they have the Sunstrand transmission. I would replace the Hydro Gear in mine for a Sunstrand in a heartbeat.
Again, that is a nice looking tractor. I hope you enjoy it. Lastly, this web site is amazing for getting help and learning. I check out daily and pick up something all the time.
