New Guy from Ohio
Hello All,
WCS1200 here! I'm from south west Ohio. 30 years old and been a IH Cub Cadet owner/operator for my entire life. My grandfather bought the first IH Cubby 1200 new in 1973. He later bought a 1861 in 1993. Both of these were given to my dad when he bought my grandfathers house in 1995. I learned to mow grass, pull trailer and bushes with that 1200. My father still uses the 1861 today. In 2008, against my wishes, my dad sold my beloved 1200 to a family friend. After this I soon moved out. My dad felt so bad about selling my grandfathers first garden tractor he bought me a MTD Cubby a 1000 series I believe. I later found that old family friend and offered to by it back for more than what he paid for it. If my memory serves me right he paid $0.02 for it( just to give my dad his 2 cents worth). The offer was declined. After 3 years of pestering I offered my 1000 series. Offer accepted. During the time the friend had it he ran it into
The ground, causing me to buy a Tank. So I began to rebuild the 1200. New ISO mounts, carb, PTO switch, entire drive line, and various bearings. Now she runs like new and I have sold my Tank and only use my grandfathers 1200 with over 100,000 hours on it. I will teach my son to mow grass on the 1200 his great grandfather mowed grass with 45 years ago!
