We picked this up from my wife's grandma. Model 70 cub Cadet. It sat for 8 years. Only took me an hour to get it running. We have used it for mower, leaf mulching, snow plowing, and this year i picked up a 36" blower for it... Weird MI weather, it was 50 degree yesterday and 20 tonight with 2" of snow on the way.. Maybe one day i will use the blower LOL

Now that is awsume!!! Don

thanks.
this years addition was wheel weights. The last slush we had it did considerably better pushing than i am used to.

Nice cadet you got there. Very simular to a wheel horse of that era. Very well built machine. Got to love those metal pan seats that kill your ass after being on it for more than 5 min. International Harvestor made some great equipment bitd. That thing will run forever

Nice! My friends couldn't understand why I spent $900 on a IH cub cadet 1250 (used at auction). Its a 1974 and I got a blade with it also with wheel weights/chains and a blower. I'm having the laughs now that he has in the barn in disrepair the craftsman,mtd, ranch king and his last craftsman has got a spot 'reserved' for it there too with it blowing more smoke than the 2 strokes do . all in all he has a little over 2 grand sitting in his mower junk yard and I'm still mowing

they just don't make them like they use too that is for sure. This one does not mow the best but it does what i need.

Dude that is sweet, I have a thing for old garden tractors. I have a 1958 Wheel Horse and 1978 Cub.

You have to trade in the John Deere hat for a Cubby one... Nice ride!

Nice, back around 6-7 years ago I restored a John Deere 111. I ended up only using it for two years and its sat outside since.

Nice ride.

My dad still has his 1969 John Deere 140 Patio Tractor (Factory colors white and orange).

yeah, mowing could be faster but thinkin like you do...it does what I need without spending 7k on an m60 Tank . Gotta agree with mazdaj though...the JD hat has got to go

How about a brushless conversion?

thanks all for the replies. Yeah i know the hat has to go. Maybe my wife will pick one up for my Bday some year.. yeah right LOL

DirtDriver, i have all ways loved those patio version 110s.

COOL!!! Dont get to come around much lately, but this caught my eye. I recently traded for a small tractor. What do yall think? Got a Belly Mower Deck, a Disc, and a Box Blade with it.
