Another new cub fan

[goat_poker]

Hi guys. I'm just getting the hang of this site, posting, replying to posts etc. I used it before for information but joined up so that I could pick your brains.
My name is Dale and I live near Johnstown PA. I have a cub 127 with a 48 inch deck that I use to mow about 3+ acres. I went through many different brands of used riding mowers but always wanted a cub because of their reputation. They were hard to come by used and cheap and as a student at the time I never had the money or luck to find one. One day I was mowing a steep hillside with a JD that had the engine mounted in the rear. It started to spin the tires and I hit the clutch but my foot slipped and the thing bucked me off like a horse and rolled down the hill after me. I then decided that I needed a mower with a hydrostatic transmission. A couple years later I found a 127 that someone had painted red for $400. I bought it, repainted it yellow/white, and have been in love with it ever since. I became a podiatrist so I cut more toenails now than grass but I won't give up the old cub because there's just nothing out there as sturdy or dependable.

Welcome to OCC. They always say nothing runs like a Deere. Well I would think that you ran faster than that Deere when it was going towards you. Cubs are the best! Have fun with your cub. I have fun with mine and it don't even run! Ha Ha. Hope to see pics!
