Question new here and loving the info
I just joined the site a few days ago and enjoyed surfing around and getting some very useful knowledge.

I also just became the owner of my fathers AGS2140 Cub. I dont know if this a very good unit but it had been sitting a field behind the house ever since he got a new zero turn model and I thought I'd take a stab at it. I brought it home, pulled the mouse nests out of it, changed the oil, new battery, and fixed one tire that had dry rotted. Finally got her running and cant believe how nice it purrrs!!! I plan on servicing the tranny and getting some new blades for her tomorrow . Only thing missing is the headlight assembly that has been knocked off and lost who konws how long ago and from the price on the web (90 for lens, 90 for reflector) they might just stay off for a while. Can you find used parts for these mowers?

I was thinking of refurbishing the "tins" body panels whatever you want to call them. My brother and I were probably on the obusive side when we younger mowing the 4 acres around the house and Im sure sitting in open for a few years didnt help it either. Its not dented up very bad but there are lots of scrathes and scrapes from trees and fence post some down to bare metal. Id like to get it looking a little better but dont know really where to start. I know some of you guys refurbish the older tractors and thought you could help me with some of your knowledge. Im pretty mechanically inclined but I know very little about painting and restoring finishes. Any and all suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated becuase this will deffinately be something new for me.

thanks guys glad to be here. Working her today and found that the gear lever was stuck along with the foward and revers pedals. Just needed some persuasion and some WD40 and now they seem to be back in shape. Road her down the drive way and back and everything seem to be in good shape.

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.
