What was your first tractor experience (does not have to be a Farmall or Cub)? Purchased the Ford NAA from the owner of the house I bought in 1989. He said it was a 9N. When it began running bad, we got into the engine and restored it from there in 1995.
What is your Cub's primary work? Looking pretty and racing other cubs. I sold all the implements and built it for speed.
What is the favorite Cub of all which you have owned and why? Only have had one.
What first sparked your interest in owning a Cub? I thought I was getting a deal. It had wheel weights, chains, mower, etc and the engine was supposedly rebuilt. It wasn't. From there it was every nut and bolt, every bushing, bearing, gasket, oil seal, Firestone tires, paint, seat, you name it.
What task/use of your Cub provides the most enjoyable seat time? Short blasts on our country roads and polishing the tires in the snow.
Favorite thing you like about Cub's and Cadets? Nimbleness.
Describe your most satisfying or frustrating experience working on your own or someone else's Cub? Satisfying: Finishing the restoration and attending Rick Prentice's Cub Fest in 2009. Frustrating: Finding out I had been lied to about the condition of the Cub when I bought it.
