Greetings all, I’m Tom from Mechanicsburg, PA. Airline pilot by day (and night), father of four while home on days off. My father has a ‘47 CUB that he purchased about 35 years ago, when I was in my twenties, that we’ve enjoyed immensely.
Fast forward to earlier this month, when I purchased a home on six acres, with two thirds of it wooded.
I knew immediately what I needed for grounds maintenance, a 75 year old CUB!
I’ve managed to find one close by from a twenty two year owner, that had everything I wanted, and at a great price… touch control with rear rockshaft assembly, a C22 sickle mower, Woods 59C belly mower, and a later model L-54 leveling and grader blade for snow removal. Was glad it had the lowboy version, as my father’s C-54 blade occasionally can’t raise high enough in a heavy snow. The deal also included a set of nearly NOS CUB tire chains, and a C193 moldboard plow for the wife’s garden. We close on the house the first week of December, and I can’t wait to put the old girl through her paces.
I feel like a kid at Christmas!
