Default Bad Backs Suck... :(

Well I had a great day working on the 128 and got a few things assembled, but alot of it was heavy and awkward to deal with, such as the trans and frame mating, bending over working on the 3 point and lift arm, on and on and on. Well I am paying for it tonight. The ole back is catching and trying to cause me major problems. Just simply saying to everyone out there, even tho these tractors are the small scale, take your time, watch what your doing and protect your back along with the rest of yourself. You just don't realize how much it can hurt once you have messed it up for life. No, I am not complaining, just a word of caution to everyone here.

DWayne, I know what you mean about bending over when working on things. Though my back is in decent shape, it still bothers me more now than in years past. I assume you wear a back support belt. Sure hope you're feeling better soon.

I know exactly what you mean.... I'm 30 and have had a bad back since I was 19..... stupid teenage girl drivers!!!! I've had two fused together and still get cortisone shots seems like 3 times a year. Best thing that's helped me has been working out regularly.

I feel your pain Dwayne!

I'm not saying that as a pun - as someone with ongoing back issues, the only thing I've had happen that feels worse is kidney stones . . .

Also guys - be careful ALL of the time, even a small lift done the wrong way can do damage. The worst time for me came from lifting an empty laundry basket (less than 1lb) and I was down for 4 days!

Get well soon Dwayne and make sure to ask for help if you need it!

Thanks for all the replies. It's pretty tender this morning, but I know from history if I will take it easy for the rest of the week I should be feeling normal again soon. No playing with the 128 for a few days..

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
