I've seen the light!!
Now for those of you that know me, know that I've never had too much good to say about the QL series CC's...heck, I've even got booted from another inferior CC forum for bad mouthing QL's, but today as I was doing my spring cleaning and tune up on the 128 I remembered that I needed a hood hinge so I get to digging thru my parts shed and find the nose and hood from the ole 1200 that was such a thorn in my side...the QL hood hinge was heavy duty and like new so that got me to thinking how many parts I had robbed from the 1200 and used on the 128....rear end, rear fenders, hood hinge, steering wheel, mowing deck....then it dawned on me that the QL's are useful after all....as parts donors!!!

Don't let the 128 know that you put QL parts on it........

You got booted of another site for bad mouthing a QL, to think I had to get nasty emails LOL
I found a use for QL parts, I put them on Evil pay and buy real cubs with the money!
Your a good man!

Re: I've seen the light!!
Paul, the 128 never saw where the parts came from...I told it they came from your place so it wouldn't reject it's transplanted parts! BTW...what's the status of the 71???Paul B wrote:Don't let the 128 know that you put QL parts on it........
It's easy...you take one know it all from Arizona...add one wise butt forum moderator from Ohio....then mix anti QL remarks from a Kentuckian that has problems with authority figures....and tah dah!

Re: I've seen the light!!
Greg,your condemning all QLs from your expirience with only one.....that's like saying all Cub guys are goofy when the only one you've met is Vince
That said I would NEVER own a gear drive QL but I'll take a dual hyd smooth as silk 1450 any day!
In response to your comment about "another Cub forum" I say in my best hill rat booger pickin butt scratchin voice "there's another Cub forum?"

All part of the family
If it is an older IH built Cub Cadet I'm all for it. They and we are all part of one big family. I wouldn't think of turning against my 3 brothers or 2 sister because one is fat, one is ugly, one is rich, one is poor, and one is dumb (yes I left myself out of that list). We are blood and that overlooks all our faults . I have and like all my Cubs, from my Originals to the big bad shaker 1650. They all have pros and cons to them. All are all welcome at my Cub Cadet refuge Okay...I feel better now

Re: I've seen the light!!
Well I've got to differ. Here's a pic of my trusty 1200 with QA42 and cab. Starts every time, runs strong, and throws snow when I ask it to. Can't ask for much more out of the old boy. I'd say any cub is a good cub!

Re: I've seen the light!!
Yes indeed, Had to pull the lid on the old guy to make some custom side panels for the cab. I simply gas it up and slide the hood into position. I fashioned some pins up front to align it and keep it from rattlin off. Now to get that radio mounted in the cab and I'll be good to go. Here he is in action.
Re: I've seen the light!!
Ease up on the QL's y'all, remember if James Bond owned a Cub Cadet it would be a QL ! ! ! (riddle me this??)
Cub Cadets, Just Like Lays Potato Chips, no one can own Just One ! ! ! !
