My brother and I bought our Cub when we were in high school. We were tired of mowing our large lawn with a walk behind mower and we have always liked old tractors so we thought a Cub would fit the bill nicely. We found a Cub locally (which is rather difficult to do here) that ran, drove, and mowed but looked terrible. We bought it and used it for a year before tearing it down to be restored. The restoration took over 2 years and included rebuilding the engine, installing new bushings, bearings, seals, and gaskets everywhere we could find them. The tractor and parts got sandblasted to give us some bare metal. We painted the tractor in primer and then that beautiful red with hardner in it to make the paint better than when new. We added lights and rear wheel weights. We were able to replace many of our broken, worn out, or missing parts with the help of Steiner Tractor Parts. Our Cub still mows the lawn every summer and looks fantastic while doing so, partially in thanks to Steiner for making these old tractor parts available. I expect the Cub will be working for many years to come!
