This is my first post, i’ve Been reading and lurking for almost a year. Growing up I mowed lawns at my parents with a 127, 128, and a 129. About a year and a half ago my friend gave me a 1450 that needed some love. Needless to say I fixed it up painted it and got a running like a top. This sparked my interest and I was searching for more Cubs. This is how I got my current project. Today I Got the 1872, now a 2072 up and running, and some needed seat time. I originally bought this machine and an 1810 about a year ago for 400.00 for the two. I swamped the engine from the 1810 to the 1872 because it was running. Gave it some much needed tlc, a bath and some new paint. Some of the hydro linkage was also busted and needed replacing. In the mean time bought a 450 blower on hopes of using it in the winter. Got everything back together and ready to go. During January of last year started the tractor up and used the blower for a few passes in the drive. Needless to say the engine needed some work running at full throttle. Did some research on line for an m18 rebuild kit. Didn’t find to much. I was also talking to my small engine parts guy, he mentioned that kohler wasn’t making parts anymore for the magnums. He said this was because of the epa regs. At this point I started looking for an engine to repower the super. In my search I wanted an engine that was 20+ hp. I searched cl and Facebook marketplace for the next 5 months. A few engines came up not many in my price range. I went to purchase a front plow blade for another cub, the guy had a 2206 that I looked at. I bought the 2206 from him. The ch 20 had 560 hours on it. I also bought a pulling tractor from him that has 26x12x12 ag’s that will be mounted on this as soon as my tourque arms get here. Feels good to drive the new 2072. I still have some more things to do before it’s a 100% ready. The hood from an 1811 was in better shape than the original. I also have the haban deck I want to rebuild and use as a back up mower to my Ferris IS 3000
