Nowadays I own and operate a sign business. We make custom graphics, and signs for just about anything you can imagine.

In one of my past life's i earned a living as a mechanic for 15 years, working on outdoor power equipment, fork lifts, cars & Mack trucks; and before I left the trade I managed a maintenance facility in for a corporate air charter company as a licensed aviation mechanic.

I work as a small engine mechanic in Durand, WI. I will be attending College next month for small engine repair. I have worked other jobs but this one is by far the best I have ever had. The only older cub I have worked on was a 1863 that was abused but runs like a top after I was done with her.

I work at an Assisted Living Community (shouldn't really say which online) here in small town Sterling, IL. My official title is "Environmental Services Director", or in other words I manage Housekeeping staff and if something needs fixed around the building, I'm the guy they turn to. I oversee our HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, room turn-overs, building upkeep, landscaping, etc. Not a bad job by any means, and the salary has allowed me to start up my Cub Collection

I'm a software developer for a large cabinetry company, been there 21 years so far. Nothing exciting or glamorous, it's all custom business software written in house.

I like it because I get to design and make something work everyday, kind of like firing up a tractor for the first time.

I'm Adam, this is my first post. I worked tons of odd jobs throughout high school, drove a class B truck for a couple years, managed DHL's air cargo facility at Albany Intl Airport, joined the army and was an MP for 5 1/2 years. My knee exploded and had a ton of surgeries, army couldn't fix it so I was medically separated back in January. I had done some odd jobs which is where I found out I want to be a farrier so on Friday, I'm leaving my wife for 2 months to go to California to one of the best horse shoeing schools in the country and learn the trade.

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.
