Default An old one compared to the new Spin Off's.

My next door neighbor bought a Home Depot special last Fall for a end of the year special. he could'nt be a more PROUD owner of his lawnmower until I BUST his bubble.

When he 1st. saw me bring home my # 109 & watched me rip it apart, he thought it was a foolish project & waste. I did'nt want to bust his bubble all at once but in a mild way I DID over 5 months or so. He now is fully informed in the TRUE meaning of ' It's a Cub thing.' & the spin-off's that the big store sell. Now he's aware that when I call his Cub Cadet a 'LAWNMOWER' he is now a educated consumer.

Since buying a # 122 last week we pull up & he thought I was NUTS. I've cut my acre twice since & yesterday he asked if he could give it a try. He started to cut his. He then got carried away & cuts his entire (1.5 acres) with it. I could see the sparkle in his eyes. Wow, that was an interesting ride, "I never thought about what you meant? "

As a parting note he said, "hey if you ever run across one thats a GOOD DEAL, call me about it." ' i could see myself tinkering with something this Winter to keep myself busy.

I think he's hooked????????????
Next year we may have 2 vintage Cub's pulling the kids on carts for the trick'er treat thing?
