That should earn him the Darwin award of the century!!

Wow Tim! That guy with the kubota ...... That takes the cake ! Never have heard of anyone that stupid!!! Gene pool needs alot of chlorine ! Similar overhaul story. Back in tech school guy brought an 1800 Oliver diesel in with a miss in one cylinder. It had a bad injector, burnt valve and scored up cylinder and the cam was worn completely round! We did what he wanted new cam one new valve one new injector and overhauled that one cylinder. No new bearings and the rear main was obs and couldn't find one. Their were an A and B series of that engine. We finally got a seal to work and it ran, always wondered how long it ran?!

You have got to be kidding...

That is the kind of stupidity you usually only see it stupid teen flicks for a laugh from the audience. I mean really, if that's true, it makes my head hurt. I KINDA get the idiots out there that think they know it all about rebuilding engines, working on things, etc but to think you could pull a tree out with a chain wrapped around your waist riding a tractor...that tops it all. God bless 'Murica, right?

youre absolutely right nikster, these people vote!!! they turn out in droves to ensure that the american principles and liberty that we hold dear, eventually turns into dependancy (they hope)....makes me sick....at first i always thought it was the "yuppie" that ruined tools (the evolution of tools over the last 100yrs??) just as garden tractors, etc.....but now i know that it was even more so the large population of idiots who contributed to the great decline in standards and craftsmanship....many are trying to be rid of the "american man" these days...

Way back when dirt was new God was a boy and I was in skool,
they taught "vocational skills" in schools.
Wood, machine, printing and auto shops were the norm.
Home making, Typing for the girls for those that weren't going to higher education.
Today NONE of our high schools so much as has wood shop much less a fully equipped machine or auto shop like I had.
They teach " computers" and political science.
Now they are not even teaching penmanship WTF? how are they going to read the original constitution or other hand written works of arts etc.
They push them through weather they can read or balance a checkbook because it is politically correct.
They Are "challenged" they say, noo they are dumb and need to be taught @ home as well as in school.
and mis behavior is not rewarded with a kick in the arse.
I'm not talking about child abuse, I'm talking about discipline.
just like you get in the army, or Mom did with her paddle.
aw well not the place for this discussion, sorry

AMEN! Just give me free stuff and I'll vote for you.

Woodworking, metal shop and drafting have all been very beneficial to me over the years.

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.
