Cyclops plastic

[redduece07]

Same here. I could really use a nose piece and a decent hood. I have been trying to find a cheap donor but cyclops are hard to come by around here. Especially with Sam so close.

I was going to use the plastic on another Super I bought but changed my mind when I bought an 1864 a couple weeks ago. It was one of those nice tractors, no rust, 54" mower. A trade in. The owner towed it backwards on a trailer to get his new mower and the hood flew up and wiped out everything.

So, the 1864 was cheap and the other cheap one made a nice tractor.

They're still out there if you have patience but I am finding them hard to come by in the last year.

I forgot to post a link to a picture. Some may think this is too much money. I thought under the circumstances it was a good deal.

If you can get a good grille, most everything else can be successfully repaired. They still sell them new at your CC place.

Sam is not buying anymore Cubs unless it's a 2284 or an 1864 and the chances of finding them in the land of Crapsman mowers is slim to none. Also I have no desire to do a 2 day road trip for one.

They're out there. I just picked up this fully intact 1641 with good plastic in Winchester Va for $250. It needed a seat obviously. I live in south central PA. I only bought it for the motor, and then my mind started thinking I may just use it as a mower because it's a big boy, and I have 6 acres.

Good buy but six acres will wear you and that tractor out real quick.

I probably should clarify that, I have two acres of grass, and 4 acres of pasture/field. I only knock down the 4 acres 3 or 4 times a hear, and I have a 60" swisher trail mower for that.

There are plastics on ebay from time to time. There is a local guy here who has some and will ship from trevorton pa. He posts on craigslist all the time, just look up cub cadet parts on craigslist in Harrisburg pa and you'll find him.
