Dave , Welcome to the club ....Nice cubs..

Any relation to the Wendy's late CEO . ....I'm sure your probably sick of hearing that one . LOL

Little know fact is Dave Thomas originally got his start working for Colonel Sanders of KFC fame in Corbin Ky.

What engine do you have in that Original in the first picture , I don't recognize it ?
I see a lot of cub cadets while going down the tracks , its a shame I can't pull over and ask about them .

I installed a Yanmar L90 air cooled diesel on it. The original engine knocked bad and had a lot of metal shavings in the oil. I gave that original the name knocks a lot, it still knocks a lot but for a good reason now.

I did not alter the O in any way, it was an easy conversion using a plate.
DISCLAIMER no Os were hurt in the making of this conversion.


Here is a vid of my CCO pullin my little wood cart up an incline.

Hi Dave; Welcome to the forum. Is Mansfield in Lancaster County? I was born and raised in Reading. I only played with Originals when I went to shows and plow days. My three Originals were named TED (Roosevelt, Edith (Teds wife and had a 9 speed transmission) and Alice (Teds Daughter).

Mansfield is in Tioga county, NE PA.
WoW you have some great looking Os there. I'm yellow with envy. Nice job with them.
Look like some rare and custom attachments you have there. The wheel log splitter is one I have never seen on a Cub.
The front mower, and rear weight box look cool too. Thanks for sharing.
