Wow! That"s a lot of tractors to work on. I"m jealous. Been
chomping at the bit to start on this one, and recently told the
boss to "take this job and...restructure it", so there is finally time
(but not as much dough). They really are beautiful machines,
and it"s a joy to work on something that was designed to last.
It"s no fun trying to fix broken six-month old junk. Just finished a "working restoration" on one of those 21hp Cub
Super Garden Tractors witha 60" mowing deck and snowplow.
Only 13 years old, but it looked like it was never maintained.
After some TLC it did a great job snow plowing and spreading
gravel on the drive this spring, and is now enjoying mowing

doesn"t look like it was worked too hard. Only a few dents and
not much wear on the pedals. No recent maintenance, though.
The engine oil drained like gritty black 90W, and the tranny oil
drained like grease. I have my eye on a rusty old M that is
surrounded by brush and saplings. Maybe the old guy will let
me tow it away...

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
