Many thanks all. Looks to be alot of good people here. I took it for a spin around the property and everything seemed a bit smaller. haha

Plenty of red tractors here to ranging from 1920-1974.

I had to weld up some wear on the mule drive on my 2072. The PO pretty much carried the deck with the tractor. I have it set up to roll on all 4 wheels when its mowing.
I got a manual for the 60" and it's not clear on whether the tractor or the wheels are intended to carry the weight. I've heard both ways.

BTW, lots of familiar saws in the picture: Disstons, David Bradleys, Mall, Mac, Strunk? The 2 Poulans look quite nice. I'm going to guess a 44/52 and an F200 or F100. I'm up to around 200 saws, only three 2 mans though. Lots easier to stash saws versus garden tractors.

cbfarmall, Welcome to the Forum. That is one nice 2072 you have there. Those chainsaws you have bring back a lot of memories. In a couple towns over from me was an old grist mill that eventually turned into an antique shop. They had some chainsaws there that I swear you your need a block and tackle to lift. One in particular had a cast iron block and had twin cylinders - a real heavy monster. Your arms would be dragging on the ground after using one of those for a full day!

OK I'm impressed that you know what a Strunk is, that alone tells me you know your way around old saws. I think my favorite one in the pic is tied between the 7hp Mercury, the 2 man Poulan (both are family saws) adn the Titan blue streak. I'll PM you some time to chat old saws!

I have a Strunk--Korean war era military issue. Has the brass tags and all.

For what it's worth, that Disston is way more than 7hp. 15ci and way under-rated by the manufacturer--got one of those too. I'd like to see a Titan in person.

Enough of that chainsaw talk.

The 2072 needed a fair bit of work to get it to this point. The deck is going to have to come back off to repair the mule drive, and it needs a couple welds on a gauge wheel bracket--nothing serious. Plus, I keep losing the hourmeter, ammeter, oil light, and PTO. There's a loose wire on the back of the key switch pigtail that keeps popping out. Going to have to fix that pin properly.

A twin cylinder cast iron block portable 2 man? I think the Brits and Aussies used motorcycle engines but I believe the US of A had enough sense to use cast aluminum. Not too many twin cylinder saws were ever made. I don't think the power justified all the extra weight.

Welcome. You will fit right in here,we all love old well built machines and it looks like you do too. I think you need a couple narrow frames now and wide ones too.
That's a nice looking 2072.

The wheels on the deck are intended to carry the weight. If not, you will tear up the deck sub-frame. Way too heavy for the sub-frame. A lot of guys don't even pick them up unless necessary.

The old stuff is fascinating. Maybe variety has something to do with it. Speaking for chainsaws, they are currently not fundamentally different. 30-40 years ago was a very different story.

I see some evidence of that kind of wear already. The Haban is truly a monster for an underslung deck. That sort of weight belongs with the Woods mowers that you hang under vintage tractors.

I put this old mower thru its paces earlier this week mowing the back half of my property. My grandparents swung by and startled me by driving thru my yard right up next to me. Their visit was a dual blessing because I noticed a nice oil leak off the front of the motor. Turned out to be the oil pressure switch leaking from the top. Found a part that fits Corvairs and other old Chevys at Autozone and got her going again. Quite a difference using the 2072 after mowing with the 782.

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.
