I just graduated from Cub Cadet to something that does some real work.
Picked it up last week and finally got some time to do some work on it today, maintanance was not a vocation with the previous owner.
I came with a 4' LMC finish mower and I already had a 5' rake and 4' box.
The muffler, what was left of it, needed to be replaced so instead of paying $160 at the dealer I bought a Stanley for $30 and replaced the can myself. The air intake hose was rotten so I matched it up at NAPA to a radiator hose and but out a new one.
I did get new radiator hoses at the dealer.
The 21"++ top link was too long for the rake and box so I cut out 4" of it and welded it back together.
Other than a general going over and oil change and what I mentioned above that tractor was in pretty good condition, runs great.
She'll eventually get painted and new tires.
