I regularly check my local CL as there is always something interesting. a new ad!
"Cub Cadet: runs well, with rototiller and 48" deck... $200" I was the first to respond... 39 min after the initial posting! lol I sent an email.. "Have trailer and cash. Tell me When and Where!" and went to bed with no expectation of success.
Imagine my surprise when Steve emailed me back! We had to jump it with the car as the battery was shot. She fired up and purred like a 650# kitten. No smoke whatsoever. The poor trailer was a mite taxed but we survived the trip home. The deck is completely shot. All the hardware is good as the guy fought the good fight and replaced everything he could as it went to pieces... unfortunately the deck itself is unusable. The tiller is immaculate... used but well taken care of.
He replaced all kinds of little parts including a rebuild of the PTO. He gave me the old one.
I got a set of chains and all the paperwork as well. Score!!!
So I do have a few questions... lol Just one for tonight tho...
the deck is a project for another time... the tiller is my focus. How do I find the belt specs? He gave me belts but they are very tired and I would much rather start out knowing what I have. I have scoured Partstree and a couple other sites... no mention of actual specs. the tiller model # 1 U-1111
the tractor's s/n 2050047U476543
I look forward to your kind feedback Rick
