What is your Cub's primary work.. cut hay and mow grass and push snow
What is the favorite Cub of all which you have owned and why... 1950 demonstrator cub is my favorite because when I got it I knew nothing about demo cubs. I found white paint under the red and researched it. It was a real piece of junk but I had to restore it instead of parting it out.

Favorite thing you like about Cub's and Cadets... very well built.
