How for a walk for a broke down Cub?
I have a 1/8 mile wide by 1/2 mile deep property. The house in front woods in the back. Why is it that I run out of gas or like today the ball joint on the steering box failed. As far from the house as possible. Then nobody is home or hear the phone. I have nice 3/8 mile or farther walk, one way.
So how far have you walked? Also what would you try to carry with you on your Cub?

I mowed a lady's yard last year. It was close enough to ride. I had flat on day and had to walk home to get a spare. Maybe 3/4 of mile walk.

Its called Murphy's Law and it is always in effect. If I was a Proclaimer, I would walk 5,000 miles for my cub.....but I am not. I would walk as far as necessary, because what is your alternative and besides.....It's a cub cadet! What do I try to carry on my cub?.....A woman, of course with my license plate on the front, "Gas, Grass, or A$$.....No one rides for free!"

I never walked that far because one broke down....
When I was a kid, I mowed rural yards for older widows of farmers. They were miles away from my home, and I wasn't old enough to drive. My dad drove a truck, and mom was busy with all my younger brothers, so, I drove the mower to the houses. Farthest I ever drove dad's cub was probably 5 miles one way. I carried gas with me.... and no one owned cell phones.

I like to walk 2 miles a day, especially in winter, as I am not as active as I am in the summer.
I once drove a combine 61 miles home from an auction, it took a while @ 12 mph. Beautiful ride @ that pace, you see things you don't normally notice.

Dad's got a 100 with a school bus seat. We used to use it for a butt buggy until I bought a Kawasaki Mule. We were on the backside of the farm and had a tie rod end to come apart. I kept hoping off and putting it back on till we made it to the shop.

I take the #2 cart with me most of the time when I'm not doing regular mowing near the house. In the cart, I carry chainsaw, trimmer, fuels, and some hand garden tools.

I only have to walk one way to get another Cub and my 6X8 tilt trailer with a boat trailer winch on the front of it.
Like some here, I buy lots of old junk tractors. I tinker with them to get them going, least money as possible. Usually that works, sometimes it ends in failure and I have to go into the retriever mode. https://www.leonardusa.com/sites/def...?itok=4tTHRNal

Sorry but the concept of walking because the Cub broke down is something I don't understand. None of my Cubs have ever left me in the "I have to walk" situation. Oh yeah I maintain my stuff. Mowed with the 1641 today and no problems, I did have to fill the gas tank before I started. Made it back to the shop under it's own power, what a profound concept.

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.
