Default Starting the 'O'

It was a truly beautiful day here yesterday, sunny and 67. I decided to get the cubs out to breathe a little....

I opened the gas, pulled the choke and that little 7HP started right up on the first crank after sitting since the end of October. Pretty cool. Didn't have to worry about jumping it or anything.

The 127 I'm going to have to look into a little....

ya, I had already got the booster out and ready... It's just amazing to see that thing after 49 years and looks like nothing outside of a muffler done to it just fire up so so easy.

Gary no pics? Your O is so sweet! I'm thinking the 127 is holding out for a warmer day.

Duke,

I was mainly trying to satisfy a 16 month old who's bound and determined to be outside as much as he can. I just had them pulled out of the garage enough to get the exhaust out. The problem is Wyatt, my youngest, wants the 'O' which belongs to Owen, the 5 year old.... Owen would rather be on the GT2544 since it's got the blade.... so I don't know if that's a good problem to have or not.

Here's you a couple quick snaps of "nothing"... The way I figure it I can go 3 wide on each side to fill up the front nice. I'm going to start my search around April again. I've really got my fingers crossed about a good 149, but I dunno yet....

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.
