Default Opinions wanted - Striping Kit zt1 50????

I sorta want a striping kit for my new mower zt1 50... but the reviews on the cub ones is not great so I ask myself if better fabricating my own, try the cub kit, or go nothing. theres a little striping there from just the mowing but.. looks nice with a little more?! are those cub ones a but adjustable to move the rollers down and up. does not look like it. Hmmm this will be my debate probably all winter on what, if anthing to do...so i wanted to see and here from you guys and gals what experiences you've had with them........

On a Side note I just got the mower and have mowed twice....and on the second mowing I picked up a pc of wire in my rear tire already!!! plugged it but still....damn....wife giving greive for not "seeing" it..... 1/8 x3" pc of wire in the grass...yeah right.....

even with plug slow leak so sliming it also for good measure......

I've seen on some of the ZTR sites I'm on where people do something like this.

FWIW:
While slime sometimes fixes a leak problem,
the piper will come to be paid eventually.
Most repair shops will not work on a wheel/tire with slime in it.
That chit will turn into a goopy mess that will be very difficult to remove from the rim, after the tire is removed or cut off.
Oh it can be ground or wire wheeled off, but the labor will be too high, so they just sell the customer a new tire on a NEW wheel at added cost.

A plug is a temporary repair till the tire can be removed and a permanent patch can be installed on the inside.
----Just so you know, might another puncture occur.

It could also cause the inside of your rim to rot. I would patch it or put a tube in it.

I've also seen rims rusted badly with slime over time.
Prolly have a difficult time trying to get a tire clean enough with slime to put a patch on it.
Maybe let it alone if/till it needs attention again.

That was what I meant. When I got my 125, the PO had slime in one of the front tires, and it was all dried up and rusting pretty bad. Luckily I got it scraped off, and cleaned up and painted the rim before it rotted through, then put a tube in it. I put a tube in one of the rear tires also, that had no slime, and that rim still looked like new inside.

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.
