Guys! This model 86 CUB wideframe was in very bad shape when we brought it home. It was painted everything under the sun including camo. We pulled it out of a small storage shed with the pick up truck. It had things welded on all over the place, including four trailer hitches in various locations. So the black paint was a quick cover up for grandson Mike to take it to a tractor pull this spring. He pulled 46 feet and had a great time.
Today I used the 86 to haul a wagon with fire bricks from the campfire pit.
Yea I Know it has a Craftsman seat on it too
But I really like how this Cub starts and purrs like a Kitten once warmed up. Open exhaust sounds gooood!
It had a stuck valve when we brought it home. and after a few hours we had it running. Also lots of rust in the tank that we are still dealing with too The steering wheel has been removed and re-attached with three 1/4-20 bolts holding it on. Fenders were cut in several places.......
With the chains on it does a good job in the mud. The clutch is getting weak. I pulled a fairly good sized tree with it this summer.
This tractor came with a snow plow, which still has a trailer hitch mounted on it too.
I just cant see these being left to rot away I guess I would like to save them all. I didn't pay much for this tractor cause it wasn't worth much! But I do know it takes a lot of time, work and money to bring them back after they have been mistreated like this one was. So we just get it back going again and have some fun with it. Wife, Cheryl likes to run this one around the yard too.
Hope things are good in all of Cub land!
Regards,
Chris
