Nice. Think about it, 50 plus years, your repairs and it still works well I'm pretty sure the modern ones won't ever make it that far.

I love what you have done with the Cub but, if I could say, Please be careful mowing around the kids. I know I'm an old fart, and also a safety officer by day, and you would be amazed at how many landscapers and bystanders (even folks in a car going by) get hurt from stuff being thrown out a chute.

Love those old Cubs, I'm going to see about getting my very own "O" this weekend. I'm just hoping I've set aside enough in the cookie jar to get one that I can fool with to get running and then restore later.

With an Original you have to be extra careful as Jim pointed out as those decks still keep turning with the foot pedal disengaged. Nice job

yea i noticed that however it is a lot better when you have a guard on the left side pulley it will slow down the belt and it will stop the blades
