Was somebody busy in my garage when I wasn't looking????

My neighbor did say the red one needed some chrome, but YOW that one is some nice!

Guess it can't possiby be mine, the wheel weights ain't seen paint in 56 years (soon though) and I just don't remember any hub caps on em either.

I have seen that cub 3 different times that I can remember. twice at ubarama, and once at Redpoer Roundup. Each time it has some more additions. Each of us have different ideas aobut cubs and wht we should do with them. Mine is to make them as useful as possible, to which end I tned to look for unusual implements, and try to figure ways of simplifiying changing them, or to mount more than one at a time. I do this not only because I am alzy, but because my helath makes wrestling them around somewaht of a problem. I guess the idel thing would be to follow George Willer, BigDog, and Russell Leggitt's ideas and have a cub for each implment I need, but in reality that ain't gonna happen. I see some people who's interest is in maing a cub look like it was brand new. Larry likes to dress them up with touches he can make himself, and has spent several years doing this on his cub. All the shiny parts on it are polished stainless steel, that he has made himself. None of them are chrome or aluminum. Some of his ingenuity really fascinates me. An example is the fornt wheel weights. They are the ends of electric motors he has machined to mont on the wheels.

At Repowerroundup he told me he has been working on that tractor for 15yrs and he is not done yet. Maybe he trying to completely reproduce it in stainless :lol:

. He told he does use it a little, but I'd say darn little. If I remember right he told the paint is 15yrs old so I know it doesn't see anything serious. Marvelous craftsmanship and the detail is amazing. You can look at it for a long while and not spot all the remade parts and pieces. If he kept track of his time in it and figured a shop rate that unit would be worth $50,000 or more :lol:
