There, hidden in an ad along with a Ford, Massey Ferguson, and 3 small lawn mowers, was a Cub. My brain locked onto the grill (my favorite 11-bar style) and I zoomed in as close as I could. There was only one photo, and it was not very good, but the cub had front & rear cultivators AND a fast hitch. The ad said new carb, battery, & tires.
Well, of course I texted asking a few questions, including price...answer was $800! The next day, I was on the road with my (enabling!) younger sister, and I fell in love with it...it just gave off good vibes. She started right up, and was loaded in minutes! The seller was 80, with health issues, and just needed to reduce his stuff. Super nice guy.
The only obvious issues are the sediment bowl was seeping, and the carb was dripping when shut off. He admitted the carb float probably needed tweaking. Those 2 things I'm pretty sure I can take care of quickly...especially if those awaited parts don't arrive today!
This is my SIXTH!!

(That mower was a separate deal)
