Re: Mini-Tractor
My good tractor friend has 2 mustang little tractors and a few roof ranger tractors, and up here in northern Michigan those are nuts if you find one, they are super rare, I like the Mustangs though he's actually the guy that I bought my cubbie 127 from!!!

Re: New potential truck

Re: New potential truck
So I tried answering your question Dave, and what I gathered is the people went on a trip to Alaska in it and then came back, the guy went to a home and then later died, it sat in a barn for 25+ years and then the son in law took it, it wouldn't run with a broken push rod so he took it to the previo...

Pulled the motor out of the cub in record time 23.37 min. I took it out for a new oil pan since the old one was cracked and I checked things over and it all looked great! Just have to find some gasket sealer! Anyone know a good one
