What did you do to your Cub today?

Great tale of a weekend. Lots of different tools got into that act,
love the disc.

Then on to the slow job of tilling through all that grass. Too fast and it just wound around the tiller shaft until no teeth were showing. After a couple of sessions with the hook knife, I decided the smarter path was to just go slow. The plot was pretty hard and uneven, but became much more cooperative after the first time over. I tilled again at ninety degrees.

Then the Little Cub That Could dragged a box leveler around until things were pretty flat. Then a chain link drag. After the seed was down the fun part was pulling the culti-packer around at a leisurely pace.

All in all it was a fun and productive weekend. Then the dusty 149 went home to a cool shower and a rest in the shade. A job well done. I think he has earned an oil change and breather filter cleaning.

Nice work! Looks like fun.

I am teaching my son to drive our 129 with a "new to us" trailer. It came with a ball hitch in good condition, so I added a ball to the rear end plate of the tractor. Now the hitch and unhitch activity is SO much easier than the old trailer with the pin. I do not know who made this trailer. We take it up into the woods behind our house. I cut firewood and he loads, drives and unloads the wood closer to the house. The hill is steep and rocky, but with the chains and wheel weights, she is climbing strong. I WAS surprised at first that chains can spin a lot on flat rock surfaces. But they sure are great for traction on most other terrain. I think we move about 200 - 300lbs of wood per run. All green, it will be burned in late 2022.

What wonderful machines.

Well, after about three and a half years of effort on my Cub 108, I finally have it to a point where it is usable. I have put much effort into this machine and could not have gotten it to the point it is at now without the help I got from this website. So, thank you all. Jeff in PA supplied me with some excellent drive train parts that fit perfect and was very good about in getting them to me up here in Canada. So was Charlie at Cub Cadet Specialties. It is much appreciated. Anyway, my Cub 108 is usable, not anywhere near perfect, but usable and I have something I can look forward to working on and improving.

Nicely done and congratulations, feels pretty darn good don't it.
